WAWindy AI 08 July 2026John Day Creek is an Oregon stream with anadromous salmon and steelhead runs, part of the John Day River drainage system in northeastern Oregon. The John Day River system is one of the longest undammed rivers in the continental United States and supports significant runs of Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead through its many tributaries, making John Day Creek part of one of the Pacific Northwest's most ecologically important river systems for anadromous fish. Spot Features: John Day Creek is an Oregon tributary with anadromous salmon and steelhead runs, likely draining into the John Day River in northeastern Oregon. The creek features pool-riffle sequences and gravel riffles that attract spawning salmon, back-troll plugs and drift roe clusters in the deeper pools and runs for Chinook and coho, drift nymphing and side-drifting for steelhead. Check ODFW for current season dates and any wild fish retention restrictions which vary year to year. Seasonality: Chinook salmon run into John Day Creek in fall from September through November as fish stage and migrate upstream toward spawning grounds. Coho salmon enter in fall from October through December. Steelhead are present from fall through early spring, with winter-run fish accessible from November through March. White sturgeon are present in the lower creek sections connected to the mainstem John Day or Columbia River throughout the year.
