Steelhead season is now open on the main. Chinook fishing closed at the end of November. Anglers are starting to catch a few steelhead in the lower River. Recent rains have pushed the river up, so it might be a good idea to try plunking.

Anglers who catch a hatchery winter steelhead are asked to turn in the snouts at one of the collection barrels. Those who’s snout contains a tag are entered into a monthly raffle for a $50 gift certificate to Sportsman’s Warehouse!

Trout fishing is closed in the mainstem and tributaries.
