Oregon Snowpack Reaches Record Low Levels

Mar 25, 2026 https://www.nwsportsmanmag.com

Oregon's snowpack has hit a record low, with measurements showing a significant decline in snow water equivalent across the state. This has raised concerns about spring runoff, summer and fall flows for fish, and wildfire season. The low snowpack levels are a worrying sign for the state's water supply and the impact it could have on fish populations, including spring Chinook and summer steelhead. The situation is being closely monitored, with many hoping that spring rains will help alleviate the issue.
