I was just there a week from yesterday. Fished some of the upper river. You gotta hit the right pools and be using the right bait. At one spot we kept getting small ones no more then 6 inches. Then another spot we got a couple. Down closer to town is where we got a couple of nice ones including a Brown trout which was shocking. Focus on deeper pools like all the other reports suggest. Salmon egg power bait and salmon eggs were the bait of choice. We didnt use any nightcralwers or crickets so give that a go as well. Ide put half a large cralwer on just incase. Fish are picky of what they eat when water temps get cooler...
