Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently flows are around 1,400 cfs at the Waterloo gauge as of Feb. 6. A few late summer steelhead are all that is available for anglers at this time of year. Winter steelhead are beginning to show up as well. Anglers can tell them apart from hatchery summer steelhead by their intact adipose fin. Take care to release any wild fish unharmed. Hatchery chinook should begin arriving in April.
Hatchery trout harvest season closed on Nov. 1. Fishing with bait is only allowed between April 22 and Oct. 31. Anglers are reminded that only fin-clipped trout may be kept.
