Another strong coho run in Portland-area rivers and the north Willamette Valley has led to a three-hatchery fish (fin-clipped) limit for coho in the lower Willamette, Clackamas (including Eagle Creek) and Sandy rivers.
The three-fish limit will also be in place in the Willamette and tributaries above Willamette Falls in Oregon City, including the Tualatin (and Gales Creek) and the Yamhill, South Yamhill, Santiam (system) and Molalla rivers. Non fin-clipped coho can be kept above (upriver from) the falls.

While this year's coho return is not expected to be as large as 2009's run, by mid-September there already were 4,000 coho across Willamette Falls and coho were being caught in good numbers after this week's rains in the Sandy River and Eagle Creek.
“It’s exciting to see another strong return of coho this year,” said Todd Alsbury, department watershed fish biologist.
Anglers remain subject to combined daily limits of salmon and steelhead that may include just two steelhead and/or chinook, depending upon individual streams. If two of either or both were caught, for example, a third coho may also be included in the designated three-fish waters.
