Conditions

Valley Creek has cleared from muddy conditions, setting up good fishing on the mainstem Salmon. Flows are running normal at 4,250 cfs as of September 10, with water temperature at 65°F, prime conditions for the week ahead. Nymphing is your most productive tactic right now, though mayflies and caddis are on the water. Plan for walk-and-wade fishing and expect good conditions to hold through mid-September.
