Fall fishing for trout and whitefish can provide opportunities to catch some really nice fish. Trout and whitefish are commonly 12 – 14 inches in the Wallowa River with some fish up to 20 inches. Fly-fishing with nymphs or streamers can be a great way to target fish in the fall, and spinners can be very effective for catching rainbow trout.

Steelhead fishing will probably be slow throughout the fall as most fish will remain further downstream in the Grande Ronde. Some salmon, especially coho salmon, may be encountered in the Wallowa River, but they cannot be harvested and must be released if caught.
