No recent fishing reports. River levels best for fishing are at or below 3,000 cfs, and the river is currently running around 2,800 cfs at the gauge in Mehama.

There are very few fish available for harvest this time of year. The spring Chinook and summer steelhead run are the next big opportunities for anglers and will start to show up in late April. 

Fishing for hatchery steelhead is open year-round. Trout season below Big Cliff dam closed on Nov. 1. Bait is not allowed from Nov. 1 through April 21. Any unclipped (wild) steelhead or trout that are caught must be released unharmed.
