This river is open year-round to fishing, but ideal conditions usually begin after snowmelt recedes in late June. Flows are currently around 510 cfs where it flows into Detroit Reservoir and dropping. Trout are stocked throughout the summer months.

Anglers may see salmon actively spawning along the river. Please keep your distance and do not disturb them during this time so they can complete this vital step in their life cycle. Also, please keep your dog away from salmon carcasses as they can make dogs very ill, even fatally so, if they are consumed.

For the next few weeks extra carcasses are being placed at various access points to boost the river’s food web.

Anglers may keep up to five trout per day. Remember, this section of river is closed to salmon fishing.
