Salmon River 11-6-25
Release: 500 CFS
Temp: 45*
Pineville: 745 CFS
On Tuesday we had mostly sunny and windy conditions with the temperature reaching into the 50's. The anglers we spoke with who fished the lower end of the river reported that the best action was in the morning before the leaves got bad with the windy conditions. We finally got enough rain recently that last night the release from the dam has been increased again. Yesterday other anglers staying in the motel or stopping into the shop reported getting into steelhead in the mid section and upper section of river as well. For those anglers who are fly fishing, this time of year a variety of techniques can be effective, whether you like to swing streamers with sinking leaders, fish egg patterns under a strike indicator or dead drift them, they all can produce results depending on the day. For those anglers who are float fishing, or bottom bouncing, egg sacs or beads have produced the best results. On the real windy days, when leaves are a factor, non-leaf colors such as blue, pink and purple have been most productive.
