WILSON RIVER: Winter steelhead
The Wilson River picked up for steelhead fishing this week and has been fair to good. It is a little off color today but is already starting to drop and should be in prime shape the last half of the week. By the weekend it will be a little on the low side but still very fishable. There are fish throughout the basin. The Wilson has one of our largest hatchery steelhead releases and is should be a top pick for those wanting to catch a keeper this time of year; the lower river is mostly a drift boat fishery but there is plenty of bank access higher up off of Highway 6. Last updated 2/24/26.
Wilson River levels and predictions are available here.
