Large numbers of steelhead may be hooked and boated early in the season. As the year progresses the water cools and these fish become a bit less aggressive but the fishery tends to remain stable and quite productive throughout the winter months..

The most common types of fishing on the Snake River is drifting bait, back trolling plugs or bobber fishing with jigs or shrimp. Each method produces fish and there is no "best" way in every situation; however, being able to adapt and change according to the conditions can increase your success.

Snake River Steelhead fishing is an exciting option for any angler.
The Snake River between the Lewiston / Clarkston area and its larger tributaries - the Grande Ronde, Imnaha, and the Salmon Rivers - is a major wintering area for the Snake River Steelhead. This highly publicized fishery is well known throughout the west.

The Lower Hells Canyon area becomes a focal point for inland steelhead fishing in the late fall and early winter months. The uncrowded river, numerous fish and generally mild weather during this time create great fishing conditions!

Average weight of these sea going trout is between 4 and 8 pounds with some fish going considerably larger.  These fish may not be the largest steelhead around, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and are incredible fighters.
These photos show the typical size fish; however, it is not unusual for fish much larger to be found in the Snake River.
From early fall to early spring this river system will provide good fishing for steelhead
