OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

The Anti-Snagging Gear Restriction goes into effect on Three Rivers on May 1. Leader length must be between 18 and 36 inches and only one single point hook 3/8 inch gap or less may be used. See Anti-Snagging Gear Restriction Rules on page 18 of the regulation booklet.‌

Three Rivers could have a spring Chinook or summer steelhead showing up anytime now but numbers will be very low this early in the run, and we haven't gotten any reports of fish being caught.
