Clearwater River
(Orofino Stream Flows)
Now with over 50,000 steelhead over Lower Granite Dam and the flows coming up and the water temperatures coming down, get your gear, grab your boss and take the day off! On top of all that, there was still an average of more than 4,000 steelhead a day passing over Bonneville Dam this past week. Even though many of these fish are headed for other rivers besides our own, there will be plenty of fish that will make it our way. Unfortunately so far the harvest season has yet to produce a lot of fish below Memorial Bridge on the Clearwater River, and no one is reporting about the fishing along the Snake or lower Salmon yet, but it's gotta be close. Most anglers are fishing from boats drifting bait and backtrolling plugs, but don't hesitate to try your luck from shore, especially if you're a fly caster.
Little Salmon River (Riggins Stream Flow)

Lower Salmon River ( Whitebird Stream Flow)
