Clearwater steelheaders averaging 8 hours a fish

FISHING — Despite the heat wave, anglers checked on the Clearwater River were catching steelhead at reasonably productive rates last weekend. The water temperature was 52 degrees.

Idaho Fish and Game creel checks found the following rates:

  • Mouth to Memorial Bridge — 13 hours per fish caught
  • Memorial Bridge to Orofino Bridge — 8 hours per fish caught.

The steelhead run remains stalled in the Columbia, with only about 50 or so a day moving over Lower Granite Dam en route to Idaho waters.
