Steelhead fishing recently has been slow on the Imnaha River but should improve in the coming weeks. The lower river near Cow Creek will probably be the best area for fishing until steelhead start moving upriver later in the spring.

Fishing for trout and whitefish may also be good at times during the winter.

Anglers should remember that wild steelhead and bull trout may be encountered in the Imnaha River. They cannot be harvested and must be released.
