Steelhead Are Moving Up River

John Day River - Dayville, OR

Recent river flows have been hovering in the 1,000 CFS range, making for good boating conditions. 

Steelhead are moving up river, but we are seeing some ice build-up in sections as cold weather and snow have periodically settled into the region. Fish should be making their way upriver, allowing for good opportunities higher in the system and in the lower North Fork reaches.
