Rain this week will improve fishing conditions and get Chinook on the move. Anglers have a few more weeks before Chinook numbers will start to drop off as salmon start to spawn in tributaries and mainstem reaches. This is the time of year when anglers should check on river flows prior to heading out and try to fish as the river is dropping and clearing after a rain. Anglers will want to check fishing regulations and any updates prior to fishing.
