Winter steelhead are on the move and this year big returns are expected. With the Chinook salmon fishing season coming to a close Winter Steelhead fishing has already been going steady for almost a month now. If the record returns of salmon to some Northern California and Southern Oregon rivers are any indication of what we may have in store for the steelhead season this could be a banner year. As of late the fishing reports around the area are good. Most guided outings are producing multiple hookups and landings of bright hard fight winter steelhead. The method of choice by most guides these days appears to be side-rolling bait (cured eggs) or yarn balls. River conditions fluctuate dramatically this time of year with factors such as rain run off and snow melt in particular, dictating when and where you want to be wetting a line on any given day. Time on the water, accurate weather predictions, dependable river gauges, and a network of other top guides fishing all across the area providing up to date information add up to a winning combination. This season should be one to remember. If you want to spend a relaxing day on the river chasing one of the most sought after sport fish in the pacific northwest now is the time. All you need is an apatite for outdoor adventure and a little luck on your side!
