Snake River, Hells Canyon Dam to Clearwater Confluence (Lewiston)

The Snake River is running clear and manageable in early steelhead season. Recent flows have stabilized around 14,000 cfs as of September 19, down 2,500 cfs from the prior week, which has improved fishing odds for early returning fish. Steelhead are moving through the system steadily in traveling patterns. Work inside corners, broad tailouts, current transitions, and softer lanes where fish hold between pushes downstream.
