The Clackamas will see some early winter steelhead late in the month. However, November is typically the wettest month of the year in western Oregon, so pay attention to the river levels before you head for the water. Look for river levels less than 12.5 feet on the Estacada gage.

Both traditional tactics and indicator tactics work well on the Clackamas in winter. Use the former in the runs, and the latter near rocks, rocky points, slots, and ledges. Due to private property, it's difficult to fish very much of the Clack without a boat. However, there are numerous convenient boat ramps.

For more on November tactics and flies, see the Rivers in General report.
