Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:13 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Hillsboro

Hillsboro, Oregon puts anglers close to a wide mix of fisheries, with heavily stocked ponds, bass water, and seasonal salmon and steelhead runs all within easy reach. Most local trips revolve around small lakes and ponds in town, the Tualatin River corridor, and quick drives to the Willamette and Columbia systems.

Stillwater options around Hillsboro center on community ponds and nearby reservoirs. These smaller waters are regularly planted with rainbow trout in spring and often again in fall when water cools. Focus on mornings and overcast days. Cast small spoons and spinners (1/16–1/8 oz) from shore, or suspend scented dough baits and worms 2–4 feet under a slip bobber. As trout plants taper off and water warms from late spring into summer, the bite shifts to largemouth bass, panfish, and bullhead catfish. Work the shorelines, docks, and any visible wood with weightless soft-plastic worms, 3–4 inch swimbaits, or small jigs. For kids, a simple nightcrawler under a bobber around weeds and overhanging trees will produce bluegill, pumpkinseed, and the occasional small bass all day long.

The Tualatin River, just south of Hillsboro, fishes more like a warmwater stream than a classic coldwater trout river. Slow current, woody cover, and soft banks favor smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, panfish, carp, and catfish. Summer and early fall are prime. Target current seams, root wads, bridge pilings, and riprapped bends. Smallmouths respond well to 3-inch grubs, Ned rigs, and 1/8 oz marabou jigs hopped across the bottom, especially at dawn and dusk. Largemouths set up in the slack backwaters—pitch Texas-rigged plastics or small frogs into shade pockets. At night, chicken liver or cut bait on simple bottom rigs will draw channel cats and bullheads in deeper outside bends.

Hillsboro is also strategically located for anglers willing to drive 30–60 minutes to major rivers. The nearby Willamette and Columbia systems support seasonal runs of chinook and coho salmon, winter and summer steelhead, and sturgeon. In spring, many local anglers shift attention to spring chinook on the Willamette, running plugs or back-bouncing bait in travel lanes. Summer brings steelhead that respond to spinners, small wobbling plugs, and drifted presentations in faster slots. While these are destination fisheries on their own, basing in Hillsboro allows you to hit favorable tides and flows quickly while still having urban options for short after-work trips.

Seasonally, plan on trout and coolwater species in late winter and spring, warmwater species and river bass through summer, and then a swing back to trout, salmon, and steelhead in fall and winter. Water clarity is a key variable: after heavy rain, focus on ponds and slower backwaters where visibility is better; in low, clear summer conditions, downsize line to 4–8 lb test, use natural colors, and fish low-light periods for more bites. Waders or a small inflatable craft expand access on the Tualatin and local lakes, but bank anglers still do very well by targeting structure, adjusting depth frequently, and staying mobile until they contact active fish.
