Trout and whitefish can be caught throughout the river, and bass can be caught in the lower river. Periods of rain can bring mud and debris from areas affected by last year's Double Creek fire resulting in periodic muddy water conditions.‌

Fishing for mountain whitefish is excellent this time of year. Mountain whitefish will regularly take size 10-12 nymphs drifted under a strike indicator.‌

Steelhead fishing opened on Sept. 1. However, steelhead fishing will probably be slow until later in the fall.‌

Anglers should remember that Chinook salmon and bull trout may be encountered in the Imnaha River. They cannot be harvested and must be released.
