Anglers seem to be finding a decent number of striped bass in the lower section of the river

Most anglers start shifting over to spring Chinook in April. Remember no wild harvest of spring Chinook is allowed in 2022 (jacks and adults). Hatchery harvest is still allowed. Little pressure has been seen lately but may pick up soon.

Winter steelhead is winding down, but a few fresh fish should still be entering the river.

Anglers seem to be finding a decent number of striped bass in the lower section of the river.

Anglers who catch a hatchery winter steelhead are asked to turn in the snouts at one of the collection barrels. Those whose snout contains a tag are entered into a monthly raffle for a $50 gift certificate to Sportsman’s Warehouse!

Trout fishing is closed in the mainstem and tributaries
