J.A.G. Fly Fishing5-Day Outlook as of 7/19/25
Salmon season was opened on the Feather on July 16th. There have been a lot of jet boats in the high flow area, so be careful out there. This is a good time to get out and swing for Chinook Salmon in the High Flow area! Our Steelhead should start showing up in mid-September.
