Walleye
Walleye in the Oregon City area? You bet. The Willamette River offers a surprisingly decent walleye fishery, especially if you know where to look. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms and current breaks, like near the I-205 bridge or around the various islands in the river. The best time to target them is in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler. Try trolling crankbaits or casting jigs tipped with nightcrawlers. Local anglers often have success near the Oregon City Falls, where the turbulent water creates prime ambush points for walleye. Be mindful of the regulations, as there are specific size and bag limits for walleye in the Willamette. Access can be tricky in some spots, so consider using a boat to reach the more productive areas. The boat ramp at Clackamette Park is a good starting point.
