The Wilson gets a release of hatchery summer steelhead and those fish throughout the river. There are quite a few fish holding in the upper river but they are a little lock-jawed (difficult to get to bite). Fishing first and last light and using subtle presentations will up the odds of hooking one, lures can be effective at enticing a territorial bite in these conditions as well.‌

Trout fishing should be fair throughout the river. The upper river has good water temperatures for this time of year that should keep fish more active.
