Fishing on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River and its tributaries is catch-and-release only, using only artificial flies and lures with a single barb-less hook. The use of bait is prohibited. A valid Idaho fishing license is required. Fishing hours are a half hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset, local time. The Main Salmon River is open all year to trout fishing. Only adipose fin clipped rainbow trout may be harvested. Try fishing some of the deeper pools and pocket water along the river's edge for rainbow trout. Idaho is the only inland western state with ocean-run (anadromous) salmon and steelhead Fish. Steelhead Trout are Rainbow Trout that return after spending one to two years in the ocean, to the free flowing Salmon River to spawn each year in the spring. These Steelhead migrate up from the ocean in the fall to spend the winter downstream from Stanley near the towns of Salmon and Riggins. Once the water in the higher country warms up, these fish begin to move on up to the waters they were born in to begin their spring spawning ritual. When conditions are right, these runs provide an exciting fishing experience. State records are 54 pounds for salmon and 30 pounds, 2 ounces for steelhead. The fishery is one of the best catch-and-release fly fisheries in the nation. It is one of the last free-flowing tributaries of the Salmon River system The limit is one fish daily, three in possession and 10 for the season.
