Winter steelhead angling is slow. This is mostly a catch-and-release fishery with very few hatchery winter steelhead. Only hatchery steelhead may be harvested.
The first Springer crossed the dam on April 7. Fishing is slow. Early forecast for spring Chinook in the North is low, but high enough for there to be some harvest. There will be 1 a day, 10 for the season limit on wild spring Chinook this year.
