This mid-valley county is known more for farming than fishing, but it has several smaller creeks that offer ideal habitat for the Willamette Valley’s native cutthroat trout, which can be found here in healthy numbers.

One of those streams also is stocked a couple of times each year with hatchery rainbows.

County anglers also have access to the Willamette River on the county’s eastern border. Fishing in the big river ranges from the possibility of catching everything from little panfish to big Chinook salmon.

The purpose of this article is to point out some of the options anglers might consider further exploring within this county.

The stocked reach starts near the intersection of highways 18 and 22 close to Willamina and goes upstream to Gold Creek Road Bridge, a few miles east of the casino. Best access is along Yamhill River Road (Fort Hill Road). You must use artificial lures and flies — no bait allowed in this fork.

Listed alphabetically, here are some of the best fishing spots in Polk County:

Luckiamute River

Columbia River Gorge

A nice-sized stream system with several fishable tributaries, the Luckiamute flows through southwestern Polk County (with some of the upper system in Benton County) through Pedee.

The Little Luckiamute flows out of the hills and through Falls City.

The mainstem Luckiamute River and most tributaries are now open all year and have modest seasonal trout bag limits beginning in late May. Only artificial lures and flies may be used.

Winter steelhead do run into the Luckiamute, but note zone restrictions pertaining to these fish.

Mill Creek

This stream allows seasonal harvest of two wild cutthroat trout per day.

The main fishing area is above the bridge at Mill Creek Park, located off Highway 22 a couple miles south of Buell (northwest of Dallas). Mill Creek Road provides access to the creek.

The no-bait rule applies to this fishery.

Rickreall Creek

This stream flows out of the Coast Range hills, through the middle of Dallas and then along Highway 22 to the Willamette River.

Once stocked in town, the mainstem and tributaries now provide a wild cutthroat trout fishery with the seasonal opportunity to keep two per day starting in late May.

As with the other trout creeks in this area, you may not fish with bait. As with the Luckiamute, there is a run of winter steelhead but restrictions on angling for them.

South Yamhill River

A section of this stream in northwestern Polk County near the main route to Lincoln City and the Spirit Mountain Casino has been stocked each spring with hatchery rainbow trout.

Check the links at the bottom of this article for news of future plantings.

The stream now is open all year, with harvest of two trout allowed from late May through October.

The stocked reach starts near the intersection of highways 18 and 22 close to Willamina and goes upstream to Gold Creek Road Bridge, a few miles east of the casino. Best access is along Yamhill River Road (Fort Hill Road).

You must use artificial lures and flies — no bait allowed in this fork.

Above the mouth of Rock Creek near the casino, the stream is predominantly a wild cutthroat trout fishery.

Part of the stream is legally open to coho salmon angling, but ODFW catch records indicate this is not a particularly active fishery.

Willamette River

This section of the river is fished for warmwater fish in the mainstem and backwater sloughs.

Frequently caught species include smallmouth and largemouth bass, crappie, sunfish and bullhead catfish.

There also are runs of salmon and steelhead that pass through and can be targeted. The strongest of those are the spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead that run through in mid- to late spring.

Look for coho to appear in late September into October.

Some of these coho are headed into the Yamhill River while others are heading to other tributaries, especially the the Santiam River, which enters the Willamette just across the county line south of Buena Vista, where there is a boat launch.

In the warmer months, there are active smallmouth bass in that area as well.

For an overview on fishing in the Willamette system, read Willamette River Fishing.

Fishing in Neighboring Counties

Yamhill County: To the north, includes a similar array of small stream fishing plus a couple of heavily stocked trout ponds.

Marion County: To the east, a large county with good salmon and steelhead opportunities in the North Santiam watershed and hugely popular Detroit Reservoir.

Linn County: To the southeast, home of great salmon and steelhead runs into the South Santiam River and some of Oregon’s best kokanee fishing in Green Peter Reservoir.

Benton County: To the south, trout streams and a stocked trout pond just beyond the county line.

Lincoln County: To the west, offers a wide variety of salmon, trout and steelhead fishing options, plus excellent ocean fishing, crabbing and clamming.

Tillamook County: To the northwest, loaded with coastal salmon and steelhead fisheries, excellent crabbing and clamming, and many other angling opportunities.

9 Indian Casinos and 8 Tribes

There are eight American Indian tribes that own casinos in Oregon. These casinos are built and operated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1988. The law created the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) to regulate Indian gaming in Oregon.

Four Federally-recognized Oregon tribes worked with the NIGC to build casinos on 'off-reservation' land. This is land purchased as 'restored tribes' and transferred into federal trust for purposes of gaming. The four tribes and their casinos include: Grand Ronde - Spirit Mountain Casino (Grand Ronde); Coos/Lower Umpqua/Siuslaw - Three Rivers Casino (Florence); Coquille - The Old Mill Casino (North Bend); and Siletz Indians - Chinook winds (Lincoln City)

Grand Ronde Tribe plans new casino near Portland

October 17, 2020

The Confederated Tribe of Grand Ronde is preparing new plans to build a casino in Wood Village, in eastern Multnomah County. The building site would be the former Multnomah Greyhound Park property, which the Tribe purchased in 2015.

The Grand Ronde Tribe is preparing to formally request the transfer of the building site into federal trust for the purpose of building a casino. The process for federal approval generally takes a few years to complete.

Six months ago the Siletz Tribe filed a similar application with the federal government to approve a 180,800-square-foot casino on a site near Salem. The Siletz Tribe currently owns the Chinook Winds in Lincoln City.

The Salem application prompted the Grand Ronde Tribe to reevaluate its plans for Wood Village. The tribe currently owns the Spirit Mountain Casino in Grand Ronde, OR.

Tribal recognition could bring casino to Southern Oregon

April 04, 2018

A Siskiyou County tribe is seeking federal recognition from the U.S. government. Residents from the city of Ashland are ready to express their concerns of a possible casino project if the tribe is granted the recognition from the federal government.

The Ruffey Rancheria is located in central Siskiyou County, California. They are descended from Indian villages from that area. In 1958 Congress removed the tribe's federal recognition. Now they are actively trying to restore their status.

In July last year the 'Ruffey Rancheria Restoration Act of 2017' was introduced. House Resolution 3535 was presented by Congressman Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, California. The act would return over 440 acres of land back to tribe. It would also restore their federal recognition with the U.S. government.

The bill states that if the approved, the tribe could be allowed to develop a casino on their land.

The exact boundary and location for the proposed tribal land has not yet been determined. However, it could possibly put a casino located in Sothern Oregon if approved.

The city of Ashland is located near the possible location for the tribal land. There is a radius of 25 miles around that land that could obtain casino designation. This has raised concerns for the city and its residents.

So far this year the bill has not progressed.

A letter of concerns of the possible casino could be sent to the federal government on behalf of the city. Rich Rosenthal is the City Councilor for Ashland. He stated that he would like to send a letter if progress is made in the tribal recognition.

Currently the tribe has not contacted the city.
