This river is open year-round to fishing, but ideal conditions usually begin after snowmelt recedes in late June. Flows are currently around 530 cfs where it flows into Detroit Reservoir and dropping. Trout stocking in this river is done for the year, but there are plenty of holdovers available. ‌

Anglers may see spawning or spawned out salmon in the river above Detroit. Please give these fish enough distance to complete their life cycle. Don't let dogs eat or chew on salmon carcasses as these contain a toxin that can be lethal to dogs. ‌

Anglers may keep up to five trout per day. Remember, this section of river is closed to salmon fishing.
