Conditions

Early steelhead season is underway with some success reported. As of September 25, flows were dropping and had fallen to 3990 cfs at Spalding, with water temperature holding at 62 degrees. Consider working the edges with heavier line and bigger attractors as the river settles into lower September conditions.
