At the Lower Salt River, fall/winter trout stockings started up again earlier this month and trout will continue to be stocked the rest of this year and into 2026. Consult the public stocking calendar to see when it will be stocked next. Salt River water flows are still high but will come down over the following months as we get into the winter season. Fishing has been good for stocked rainbows with indicator rigs in the deeper pools and riffle seams. Various nymphs and sizes will work as well as small streamers stripped. PowerBait and worms are also working for anglers. Largemouth bass are also being caught by anglers on a variety of gear – both spin and fly tackle.
