**Verdict:** Hells Canyon Mouth rates as Good (77/100) for fall Chinook, but confidence is low at just 12% due to limited data. **What's driving the score:** Weather and pressure conditions are favorable—stable pressure, light wind at 16 km/h, and mostly clear skies (24% cloud cover) together account for the full 77-point score. **What's missing:** Fish counts, river flow, and water temperature are all unavailable, which significantly undermines confidence in this forecast. Before heading out, try to confirm current water temperature and recent angler activity, as these would be critical to validating whether conditions are actually producing.
