WILSON RIVER: winter steelhead
The Wilson is a little on the low and clear side, but should be fishable all week. Fishing has been fair to good on the Wilson this year and there is good opportunity for both hatchery and wild steelhead (catch-and-release only for wilds). In low water conditions try using dark colors, smaller presentations, and stealthy tactics to up the odds of success. Last Updated 3/18/24.

WILSON RIVER: winter steelhead
The Wilson is a little high still but is greening up and should be in prime shape tomorrow. It'll fish through the weekend although might get clear by early next week. Fishing has been fair to good on the Wilson this year and there is good opportunity for both hatchery and wild steelhead (catch-and-release only for wilds).
The upper river, below the South Fork, is probably already in shape although still a little high. Last Updated 3/13/24.

WILSON RIVER: winter steelhead
The Wilson is a little on the low side today but still fishing. The prediction shows it starting to rise Saturday morning, which seems a little odd being as the rain starts on Friday. My advice is to keep an eye on the river level before heading out on Saturday morning. Whenever the rains stop and the river drops there should be good opportunity for both hatchery and wild steelhead (catch-and-release only for wilds).
The upper river, below the South Fork, should come into shape a little faster and there is plenty of bank access off Hwy. 6. Overall fishing has been fair to good this season when the conditions are right. Last Updated 3/6/24.
