Salmon River

Anglers are clustering near Pahsimeroi and Sawtooth fish hatcheries, where strong early-week fishing gave way to poor conditions by week's end. As of August 5, flows sat at 4,200 cfs and were falling, with water temps near 70 degrees—warm enough to stress trout during daylight. Consider fishing early or late in the day and focus on cooler riffles and tributary inputs to minimize impact on overheated fish.
