Fishing for steelhead is fair. There are excellent numbers of fish throughout the system, but fishing conditions are tough and many of the steelhead are lock-jawed. The water is low and clear, so use lighter gear and target the deeper holding areas. Angling for cutthroat should be fair to good, sea-runs should be throughout the system. Try casting spinners or streamer flies in areas with cover, or dead drifting small presentations.

Anglers are reminded that Spring Chinook season closed July 31 on the Wilson. Fall Chinook season does not open until Sept. 16, and the river is closed to salmon angling upstream of Jordan Creek (RM 21.9) Aug. 1 to Dec. 31.
