Trout and whitefish can be caught in the Imnaha River throughout the summer. Like other locations, fishing near shore and in areas of slower flow will be best during periods of high flow. Steelhead fishing closed on April 30 and will reopen on Sept. 1.‌

Not enough spring Chinook are returning to the Imnaha River this year to allow for a salmon season to be opened. Anglers should remember they might encounter bull trout in the Imnaha River. Bull trout and Chinook salmon cannot be harvested and must be released
