Montana Fish Report

The season for Chinook salmon and hatchery steelhead is open through Dec. 31. Chinook retention is open from the mouth to the bridge at mile post 1.5 on Floras Creek. Due to low and warm water conditions, the fishery typically turns on when the bar opens up after fall rainfall. Please note: there is an aggregate bag limit rule for Floras/New, Sixes, and Elk Rivers for wild Chinook. For further detail on this water body, please consult the southwest zone section of the ODFW Sport fishing Regulations book. And as always, please obtain landowner permission before crossing private land.
