Chinook Salmon are currently averaging 25 lbs. with good numbers of fish in the 30s. Coho Salmon returns are increasing in size and numbers. 2007's return was the best return for Coho's that we've seen in years with Coho's averaging 14lbs.. Steelhead are averaging 8-12lbs. with a few 20lbers caught every year. The Salmon River is an outstanding fishery 12 months a year offering trophy Trout, Salmon, Steelhead. During the summer months have the river to yourself as you chase trophy Smallmouth Bass. Once you hook into one of these beast you'll be HOOKED!!!!

The Salmon Run starts in late August each year and builds to a peak by mid-October. Early returning fish are bright and silver and extremely agressive. As the Salmon run increases, so does the numbers of Steelhead and Brown Trout.  This is due to the hormoes relesed by the eggs and spawning of the Chinook and Coho salmon. These fish come in to gobble up the eggs left by the Salmon. They will also gobble up your offering, as you watch these fish run and do summersaults in the air you'll truly be hooked!
