Daily fishing verdict · 2026-04-30
Steelhead possible, but conditions are mixed.
Water's at 56°F — a bit warm compared to that 38–45°F sweet spot steelhead prefer — and it dropped nearly 3 degrees in the last 24 hours, which can pull fish off the bite. Flow is steady at 488 cfs and clarity looks reasonable at 7 FNU, so there's something to work with. Rain's coming in hard today (90% chance), so keep an eye on rising flow and muddying water as the day goes on.
