Normal trip is 12 days fish have been moving very fast the last three dams but did not move fast after the first 1000 day over Bonn. The trip took about 18 days. Do not expect fish to Riggins until after the 12th. Fish are two days behind the 2010 run first 1000 day that year over Granite was the 24th this year the 26th. Water is significantly higher this year than 2010 but may be warmer so we will see how fast they move. Warm weather hydrological forcast is for flows to increase 10000 for both rivers this week. Fishing started in 2010 on the 10th in Riggins and a few days earlier that year at White Bird on flows under 10000 cfs. Good fishing at Lewiston in three or four days or sooner and fish to big eddy by the 5th. Normal trip from Bonneville to Riggins on the early fish has been reported to be 30 days and about 18 from lower Granite first 600 day. In the last 10 years I have never seen it faster on the early run arrivel.
