Idaho Fish Report

Spring Chinook fishing has been slow on the Nestucca, but a few late Springers are being caught. The water is getting low and clear, so fish stealthy. Bobber fishing bait, back bouncing, pulling divers and bait or plugs are all good techniques in the right locations.

Summer steelhead fishing has been fair on the Nestucca with fish throughout the system Target riffles and the top of pools during first and last light, and concentrate on deeper holding pools once the sun is on the water. Fishing stealthy, with light gear, and targeting first and last light is often the key to success with these fish.

Trout season is open, and there should be some nice cutthroat around. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches.

Three Rivers is closed to all angling downstream of the hatchery through Sept. 30.
