Yes, I'm fishing the Clearwater in Idaho.   My best outing this season was in October when I hooked 13 and landed 11 in five hours of night fishing.  The biggest this season was this one:

What methods of fishing do you use in night fishing? what kind of fish numbers run up the clearwater?

Backtrolling lighted plugs from a drift boat.  As for fish numbers, 327,000 steelhead passed through Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River. Only about 20% of those were bound for the Clearwater.  The limit on the Snake/Salmon Rivers this year was increased to 5 per day because of the banner run.  I guess that's what happens when you have big water years and the smolts can acutally find their way downstream instead of getting lost in the backwaters caused by the dams on the Snake and the Columbia.
