Fish on and on and on and on! Hells Canyon is rocking with
steelhead 5 fish bag limit per person, per day!

Responding to a strong return of A-run steelhead, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission agreed to raise daily and seasonal bag limits on steelhead in the Snake, Salmon and Little Salmon rivers.

Starting Friday, October 2nd, the daily bag limit for steelhead in the three rivers will go from three per day to five a day, but no more than two of those can be 32 inches or longer. Bag limits on the Clearwater River and its tributaries, which don't open to catch-and-keep fishing until Oct. 15, will remain at two per day. Read entire article.

Imagine getting over 125 fish to the boat and then loading 90 keeper steelhead into coolers for the ride home after 2.5 days on the river. Or imagine catching 45 steelhead yourself in this time frame! The steelhead fishing this season in definitely going down in my record books as the all time greatest fishing I have ever seen. The temps are starting to get colder and there was frost on the dock in the mornings, but the fish are still on the bite and in great numbers.

Fish On!!!!!
