The Smith River mainstem is closed to angling above Spencer Creek through May 21, but angling for steelhead and striped bass is still open in tidewater below Spencer Creek. The North Fork Smith River is also closed above Johnson Creek through May 21. Retention of adipose fin-clipped steelhead is allowed in tidewater. Sturgeon fishing is catch-and-release only, and striped bass fishing should improve in May. The daily limit for striped bass is 2 per 24 hour period.
