Have you ever fished for Sturgeon on the Willamette? If you have you will know that those fish actually bite better when the water is high and brown. Remember they feed by smell not by sight. Go get the Gators before you can't fish for them any more.

I wouldn't recommend eating any fish out of the Willamette that lives there full time. Frequent sewage dumping and lots of farm chemicals draining in from the Tualatin.

Salmon and Steelhead should be fine though as they are only passing through.
