It is fishable and launchable.

From just below Selway Falls to Lowell and the confluence with the Lochsa. River Dance Lodge guides fly anglers on about 18 miles of it (wild cutthroat and rainbow, light pressure, best before runoff and early September to late October); Raft Idaho gives about 20 miles with Lowell as the take-out. The raft-trip source mentions no fishing and does not say whether a permit applies below the falls.
