Weekly Oregon Fishing Report 12/5/2025

Friday's Oregon Fishing Report (RIVERS BLOWN) 12/5/2025

???? December Oregon Fishing Report – Portland Metro, Oregon Coast & Eastside Steelhead Update

Welcome back to the channel! In this week’s November Oregon Fishing Report, I break down what’s happening on the rivers across the Portland metro, the Oregon Coast, and the east side of the Cascades as we roll into early winter steelhead season. Whether you’re swinging flies with a spey rod or running conventional gear, here’s everything you need to know before you get out on the water.

In this report, I cover:

???? Current river conditions
• Water levels, clarity, flows, and weather patterns
• What last week’s rain did (or didn’t do)
• How pressure, storms, and temperature shifts are affecting the bite

???? Portland Metro Rivers
• Sandy River updates – clarity, hatchery movements, best zones to focus
• Clackamas River – early signs of winter fish, flow changes, access notes

???? Oregon Coast Rivers
• Wilson, Trask, Nehalem, Nestucca, and more
• What’s holding fish, what’s slow, and when to expect the first legit pushes of winter steelhead
• Fly vs. gear tactics for November transitions

⛰ Eastside of the Cascades
• Deschutes River conditions for late-season trout and steelhead
– flows, access, and what to expect this time of year

???? Gear & Fly Recommendations
• What’s working in low/clear water
• Patterns and colors that shine in November
• Spey setups ideal for early winter flows

If you’re planning a trip, this report will help you decide where to go, what to bring, and how to fish it. My goal is to give you real, usable info each week to help you get more confidence and more fish on the swing.
