Fishing over the past week has remained decent with last Friday being one of the best days of catching that the river has experienced since the opening of the steelhead retention season. All of our guides had multiple fish in the box at the end of the day along with plenty stories about the ones that didn't make it to the net. Gear anglers had the most consistent success side drifting eggs and back trolling plugs. Fly anglers also saw some success with most fish coming to wet flies near the surface.

The big news for this week is that just as the fishing was getting good Mother Nature decided to throw us a curve ball. Due to a very wet few days the river has become unfishable for a few days. The good news is that as I write this report the tribs seem to have peaked and flows are receding. We feel the river will be fishing well by Friday as long as flows continue dropping.
