Summer steelhead and Chinook can still be found throughout the river. Anglers are finding fewer spring Chinook, however many of them are still surprisingly bright for this time of the year. The seasons first push of coho can be expected to show up any day now.
Flow and visibility on the Sandy are greatly influenced by each passing front and change in snow levels. Colder temperatures, as well as less precipitation means this glacially-fed system will not only be on the drop but will also clear up much more quickly.
Anglers should confirm access before they go. All Metro Parks and boat ramps (including Dabney and Lewis and Clark) are now open but may have modified operations. Check conditions at individual parks on Metro's website. State parks and recreation areas appear open.
USGS hydrological data for the Sandy near bull run.
