The Wilson River has a hatchery summer steelhead release but the return has been low and as a result fishing is slow. The Wilson is low and clear right now.
There are cutthroat trout (including sea-runs) throughout the Wilson basin. Fishing is fair.
The Wilson River opened for Fall Chinook on Aug. 1, and there should be a few fish pushing into the lower river on this week's rain. That said, the river didn't come up very much and the Wilson is known for later returning fish so numbers may still be low.
