Good numbers of chinook are still being picked up in the bay and fishing will stay good through early October. Salmon are also starting to move up the river is pretty good numbers. Fishing in the river will still be a little tough until water temperatures drop a bit more. Anglers fishing early in the morning will find the best water temperatures and less boat traffic.

Half pounder steelhead are spread throughout the lower river. There are a few adult summer steelhead around, but the return is down this year
