Flow is 2,060 cfs at Grants Pass with water temps at 62.2°F — ideal holding conditions for summer steelhead and moving Chinook. Expect fish to push into shaded, deeper slots and low-light windows as Sunday's high climbs toward 90°F.
Best Time Window
  • 6 AM - 9 AM: First-light low-light window — swing leeches and streamers through deep tailouts before the heat locks fish down.
  • 7 PM - 8:30 PM: Evening caddis hatch along softer bank edges; switch to a CDC caddis or hopper in the film as shadows hit the water.
  • 6 AM - 8 AM: Best nymphing window for Chinook — dead-drift eggs and heavy nymphs through the bottom of green-water holding slots before boat traffic picks up.
Guide's Tip
From the benchWith water at 62.F and air temps screaming toward 90°F by afternoon, your best windows are the first two hours of light and the last 90 minutes before dark. During midday, drop down to the deepest, shadiest slots you can find and swing a leech or streamer on a slow, deliberate arc — steelhead will be parked there conserving energy. For Chinook, keep your egg or nymph drifting dead-slow along the bottom seam at 2–4 feet of depth; they're moving through but not chasing. Evening caddis activity along the softer inside bends is worth a dry fly before you call it a day.
