Montana Fish Report

Fall Chinook fishing is slow to fair. There should be fish available throughout the system. Water is high, but predicted to fall to good fishing levels by the weekend. Bobber fishing bait, back-bouncing, back-trolling plugs or divers and bait, or casting spinners can all be effective methods. Anglers are reminded the Wilson River is closed to salmon fishing Aug. 1 to Dec. 31, upstream of Jordan Creek (River Mile 21.9).

Early winter steelhead should be arriving soon. A few summer steelhead are still being caught. Overall fishing is slow to fair.
