An angler takes a casual stroll down the highway to get to the Salmon River during a late winter storm.

Salmon River Steelhead Fishing
Conditions on the Salmon River in late winter / early spring can be a bit sporty. We had wind, cold and snow today. From 9" to 24" fell overnight depending on elevation and location. Stanley, Idaho was a winter wonderland today...
Two fishermen on the Salmon River today.
Big Wood River Winter Fishing II
Below are a few more images from a recent day on the Big Wood River.
Big Wood River
Silver Creek, Idaho
Below is an image that I took near the end of February on Silver Creek this year. Note the lack of snow. While Picabo got some much needed rain today, Silver Creek is near an all time low for this time of year. The current flow has gone up to 85 cfs with the average for this time of year around 124 cfs. Diversions from the Big Wood River following Gannett Road are now full and the loss from those diversions will eventually make a positive difference with the flow on Silver Creek.
