Its not closed , I was there yesterday . Some of the trails are closed , but the park was open . Real high water and off color . Not my ideal conditions for fishing , but almost fishable :twocents:
I drove by Dabney Park today to see the condition of the boat launch. There appears to be about 8-12 inches of sand in the launch turn around-area. However, there was a Metro Parks truck there and he had a Bobcat plow/scoop rig on the trailor. Looks like he was going to spend some time clearing sand from the ramp........:meme:
The park is OPEN. I'd never been there and was in the area this afternoon so went down to check things out. Only thing was I knew I wasnt going to be able to be there for very long so was turned around by the guy at the check point cause I wasnt going pay $4 to go look at the river. Even after I told the guy all I wanted to do was drive throu the place (as I've never been there before) and look at the river he wouldnt let me inassout: Definatly will stick to my west-side locations

That's too bad. Another strategy would have been to save money in the long run because you know you are coming back or launching at Gleason or Chinook for springers later this year and go ahead and buy a yearly pass from them. But that will depend on your situation.
are there many fish in the system? I think I remember reading last year that the fish were going to be all brood stock fish and not come back to river until end of jan. thru march? I am going wednesday and was wondering what my chances are going to be since I am coming from central oregon. Thanks and pm if you want. Mike
The river is in decent shape right now but we are looking at higher temperatures in the coming week. It may go out by then. Not a huge number of fish right now but there are some. In a drift from Oxbow to Dabney I saw two fish caught by Dave Maroon. But it wasn't lights out fishing. I was definitely off of my game today as the high water really messed with what I perceived as being a good run to fish and being able to fish it how I wanted.
