Fishing Report
Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG) has officially closed steelhead harvest in the Clearwater River basin as of the end of fishing hours on Wednesday, October 21. Anglers may continue to fish for steelhead in the basin, but regulations now strictly require catch-and-release for the remainder of the 2026 season. This announcement coincides with reports from the Upper Salmon River, where steelhead activity remains a focal point for regional anglers.
