Rains this week have improved fishing conditions for spring Chinook. Boat anglers are still doing the best, but flows are expected to pick up over the weekend and next week which may give bank anglers a better chance at catching a fish.
Steelhead are still getting picked up on a daily basis, but winter steelhead fishing is about done for the season as most fish are upriver or in tributaries spawning.
