All angling is prohibited within 200 feet of any portion of a tributary mouth. This is in effect from June 1 through Sept. 30, 2022 from the Scottsburg Bridge upstream to River Forks Park boat ramp. This is in place to protect summer steelhead that have been in decline recently.
Chinook fishing seems to be going okay with some anglers tying into a few. Previous angler surveys show it can take more than 24 hours of fishing before anglers catch a fish. NO HARVEST OF WILD CHINOOK (adults or jacks) through June 30. Anglers can still keep two salmon/steelhead per day, but they must be fin-clipped.
Summer steelhead will be moving through, but more will be coming as we approach summer.
Shad should be in the river in good numbers, but higher water has slowed fishing for some anglers
Trout fishing reopened May 22.
