The river level is down to about 750 cubic feet per second, which isn’t too high or too low. Be careful about wading into the middle of the river or crossing. Fishing has picked up again with passing of the storm front and both salmon and steelhead continue to provide good action. Eggs, beads, and egg patterns are still working best. Live bait is always good near weed beds and shoals.
