March 18, 2024 Steelhead update

We are slowly starting to see fish in the Sawtooth Valley.  Currently the Salmon river is running clear, warm weather will likely affect water clarity.  Anglers should be prepared for winter-like conditions with low overnight temps.  Anglers should also be prepared to navigate snow to access the river.   Stanley Steelhead run consist of section 19, above the East Fork.  Most Angler activity is currently occurring during high temps in afternoons.  Stay tuned for more information as we start to see more fish.
