Rain this week will most likely blow the river out for a while. If the river is too high and muddy, usually the Elk River is in better condition.

New this year, a portion of the upper river, which is already closed to Chinook, will be closed to ALL fishing until Jan. 1 to protect Chinook staging in the mainstem waiting to enter spawning tributaries. This area is normally open to steelhead fishing, but very few steelhead are in the system when the Chinook are around and this closure will keep anglers who are targeting steelhead from hooking fall Chinook.

Anglers are always reminded to check for regulation updates.
