Our focus will change to Steelhead very soon and if you are thinking about Fall Steelhead, now is the time.
The Winter run Steelhead are throughout the entire river now and we have been running trips on both the upper, middle and lower sections. This was a good day with all boats hooking at least 4 fish per boat, while today was less productive with one boat with a strike out and the other hooking two.
