Winter steelhead are in the Salmon River. Steelhead are starting to push up and throughout the system but fishing is still poor to slow because of the consistent cold temperatures and low flows.

January-March is the typical peak for winter steelhead in the Salmon River. Fishing should pick up in the next few weeks as the flows come back up.

Trout fishing in streams will reopen on May 22
