RIVER REPORT for March 5, 2026
The Salmon River if flowing at 1280 cfs this morning with visibility of 2-3 feet. Midday water temperatures have remained steady in the low to mid 40’s.

The fishing remains very good. Many fish have been caught between Salmon and Challis this week, as well as downstream to North Fork. Keep a close eye on for sliding rocks on the road if venturing down river. The Bobcat Gulch and North Fork boat ramps have been plowed and are now usable.

Fish are still chasing swung flies. The Burnt Chicken and Pay Dirts have been exceptionally good in a variety of colors. Nymph fisherman have had luck using egg patterns with a stonefly as a dropper.

We’ll be open for any equipment and supplies you may need for a successful trip. We’ll be shuttling vehicles and guiding trips if you are in need of either.

See you on the water!

RIVER REPORT for FEBRUARY 26, 2026
Greetings fellow Steelheader’s! The Salmon River is in great condition today. It’s flowing at 1220 cfs with excellent visibility. Water temps have been holding in the low to mid 40’s. Fishing has been very good and should remain so for the foreseeable future.

Rio’s Paydirt, Hoh Bo Spey’s, and marabou speys, have been our best producers this week. Black and purple flies have been the ticket. Nymphing has also been productive. Try an egg pattern in combination with a stonefly pattern.

The weather forecast for the weekend looks fantastic, so hook up the boat and get to Salmon!

We’ll be open for any last minute supplies and flies you may need, as well as some great deals on a few spey rods. We’ll be shuttling vehicles and guides are
available.

See you on the water!

RIVER REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 22, 2026
Greeting Steelheader’s! The Salmon River is flowing at 1200cfs today with excellent visibility. Although it’s been cooler this week, water temps remain in the low 40’s. The weather forecast is calling for increased daytime air temps over the weekend.

Fishing has remained solid this week with many fish coming to hand. Rio’s Pay Dirt seemed to be the hot fly, with Hoh Bo Spey’s a close second. The Bobcat gulch and North Fork boat ramps are still unusable, but everything above 4th of July look great.

We’ll be shuttling vehicles this weekend and have fly fishing guides available. Stop by the shop for the latest updates and last minute supplies.

See you on the water!
