Conditions

Steelhead swinging on the Clearwater can be challenging but rewards patience and good presentation. As of October 4, water temperature sits at 57 degrees with flows stable at 3,130 cfs and potential to rise. Fish are distributed throughout the system. Consider heavier line and bigger attractors as flows shift to take advantage when conditions turn.
