Pool elevation is just below 134 feet. The water temperature is 48 degrees. There's about three feet of visibility. Steelhead fishing is slow for boaters with few fish caught.
Bank fishing has been slow with a fish occasionally caught at the Wilbur Road canal and near the Hwy.162 Bridge. Anglers use pink Gulp eggs, with a nightcrawler or scented marshmallow, using a three foot leader and a sliding sinker setup, while bank fishing for steelhead trout or coho salmon.
Boaters usually troll with minnow type lures or a threaded nightcrawler behind a dodger ,or drift a flylined nightcrawler from the surface down to fifteen feet deep, along the west wall of the
Afterbay, on the flats, or on the edges of the channels in front of the outlets, north of the Highway 162 bridge and the mouth of the inlet canal.
Bass fishing has been on hold at the Afterbay with the frigid water temperatures. Few anglers are trying for the bass. The bass had been holding in ten feet of water or more along the rocks and moving to deeper water as storms roll through.
Boating anglers cast wacky rigged Senko's, skirted jigs or white spinner baits near cover, or working Gitzits in the rocks. Drop-shotting small plastic minnows or tubes, off the rock walls will also work. No reports have come in from any bass anglers fishing the Afterbay last week.
Productive techniques used here include casting crank baits, spinner baits, chatter baits and flipping Brush Hogs, Super Flukes, Sweet Beavers, Senko's or other creature baits to the edges of the weed mattes, or along the rocks.
