Welcome to the forum!

Yes it is, up to a certain point. You can check the regs on page 44 of the SW zone:

Good luck on the Smith,

new to forum sorta new to salmon been a long time since i fished much thanks for the info i was fairly certain the river was open but always good to check

Yes, like Tony says, welcome to OFF!

The Smith river in Oregon is a very pretty place, I have only fished it for the Striped bass, but it looks great for nooks and winter steel.

Best,

Kenda... go to the mouth of the smith where it funnels up. It will worth the extra drive. Let us know how you do or don't do, then we can give you some pointers. GL Tony
