Idaho Fish Report

Steelhead fishing on the Grande Ronde is slow by most standards, but there are fish being caught and conditions are notably better than last year. The daily steelhead bag limit is one hatchery steelhead through at least Dec. 31.

Poor returns of steelhead are forecasted for the Snake River Basin prompting managers to reduce bag limits to ensure hatchery production can be met. Managers will continue to evaluate the run and adjust bag limits as necessary.

Remember that fall Chinook, bull trout, and coho will be present in the Grande Ronde throughout the fall.  If you encounter these species, they must be released immediately and unharmed.
