Joe Garza's Tip of the Week
Move to the high flow and swing for salmon and steelhead. Look for the drops in the tailouts. These drops or shelves are where salmon hold to rest before they continue their journey upstream.

J.A.G. Fly Fishing5-Day Outlook as of 9/1/25
Low Flow is loaded with salmon. With few steelhead sitting behind them. It has been tough to get a good drift to pick up steelhead, in between salmon. You can not fish for salmon in the low flow area. Give the low flow a few weeks for the salmon to pair up.
