ALOT of snow has fallen over the Salmon River area in the last week. For now the parking lots and the majority of the river are mostly inaccessible. Hopefully the parking lots will be cleaned up soon, but the county has their hands full with the main roads for now. As of last weekend the steelhead fishing wasn't half bad. With snow and wind, conditions were worse then tough and we still managed fish Thursday through Sunday. Steelhead hit egg sacks on bottom and under floats. We fished the upper river due to slush/ice jamming up the lower end. Water levels have been at 500cfs and will remain there for another week at least.
