The daily bag limit of one hatchery steelhead will continue through the end of the season on April 30, 2019. Bag limits were reduced to protect limited numbers of wild fish returning to the Snake River Basin and to ensure hatchery programs meet production goals.

Steelhead fishing has been difficult this year due to the low numbers of returning fish and low flows. However, anglers have been reporting good catch rates as fish are starting to make the final push toward hatchery facilities. It’s a good idea this time of year to check flows prior to heading to the river. With warming temperatures and a lot of low snow, we’ll likely see the river blow out in the next few weeks.
