Heavy rainfall is predicted to raise the river flow significantly this week. This will likely encourage fish to move. Lingering fall chinook and early winter steelhead can best be targeted as flows begin to rise, but will be more challenging to fish in higher flows early next week. Up to ~9,000cfs, plunking bank anglers should still have a decent shot at catching some fish, but use caution with rising waters.
