Steelhead fishing has begun to pick up, and the lower river near Cow Creek will probably be the best area for fishing throughout the fall.
Anglers should remember that wild steelhead, Chinook salmon, and bull trout may be encountered in the Imnaha River. They cannot be harvested, and must be released.
