Chinook have been seen distributed throughout the watershed. Current water flow is up due to heavy winter storms, but as it drops anglers will have a good chance at some fish. Temporary rule changes for wild adult Chinook are now in place Aug 31-Dec 31. One wild adult Chinook per day and two total for this time period. All other zone regulations still apply.
