Fishing conditions are low and clear. Winter steelhead are still making their way through though. Anglers may still retain wild steelhead through April 30 with a minimum size of 24 inches. Anglers are finding them holding on the inside of seams and deeper riffles under an indicator or using a dry dropper rig with stonefly, egg or leach imitations. Reports of early spring chinook are coming in. Wild Chinook must be released until June 1.
