Salmon River Fishing Report
The Salmon River received a little over ¾ inch of rain today, and every bit of water helps as we move into the fall salmon run. The recent rain should encourage more fish to move into the Salmon River over the coming days.
A trickle of salmon moved through the lower river today, with fish beginning to show in fair numbers. I expect we should see a fair amount of new fish move through the river with the weather and rain that came through today.
Fish are currently spread throughout the river, with pods of salmon holding in the larger, deeper holes. As water levels and temperatures change, these fish should continue to move and spread throughout the Salmon River.
With the fall salmon season getting underway, conditions should continue to improve as we get more rain and cooler weather.
Current conditions: 250 CFS at the dam, 256 CFS at the Pineville gauge, and 66°F water temperature.
