Great Place For Winter Steelhead

Smith River can be a great place to fish for winter steelhead and is often overlooked as it is a little out of the way. The season is open through April 30. Please see the southwest zone regulation exceptions in the ODFW Sport Fishing Regulations book for more details. The Smith is one of the first to clear after high water, so keep an eye on river levels as we move toward the weekend.
