Upper Salmon River Steelhead Fishing Report

Hi everyone, this is the Upper Salmon River steelhead fishing report for November 18, 2025, and the data discussed in this report were collected from November 10 through November 16.

Last week on the Upper Salmon River was the first week so far this fall where we observed a noticeable decline in steelhead angler effort. Fewer anglers were seen during the weekdays, but angler effort picked back up over the weekend with most anglers fishing downstream of Salmon, ID. More anglers were also fishing upstream of Salmon, though effort in that area remained relatively low.
