Slow. Boat anglers are picking up the occasional Chinook in the lower river. Boat anglers have been kept off the bay by the high winds.

Summer steelhead anglers can find fish hanging out in the tailouts of pools. Because flows are higher than later in the fall, steelhead will be spread out and a little harder to find. Spinners work well, as well as flies. There are Chinook around, so anglers may want to use a little heavier line and hooks, as there is always a possibility of hooking a salmon.
