A good sign: A freshly-used salmon redd
Finally, some good salmon news coming out of the West…recent aerial surveys of the Snake River below Hells Canyon have counted a record number of Chinook salmon redds — yet another indication that U.S. District Judge James Redden made the right call 5 years ago when he ordered more water to be spilled over the four Snake River dams and McNary Dam on the Columbia River to increase salmon survival.

Fishing in the confluence at lewiston is rally fantastic as the water temp drops it will get much better lots of A run steelhead are being caught and a few early Clearwater B’s some Salmon almost every morning from daylite untill about 9:30am than the salmon bite seems to drop off. MOSTLY WILD SALMON
Hells Canyon is one of those things I really, really want to do…so I will definitely take you up on that! Thanks!
Good news for certain! We’ve had a record season so far, and the B-Run Steelhead, legendary for their size, are still causing echoes of “Fish On!” up and down Hells Canyon near Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA.
Let us know when you’re headed our way, we’d love the chance to say Hi!
Fish On!
