Fishing for steelhead has been good when the water clarity and flows have been good. Recent rains brought up flows, but as the river levels drop, fishing should improve again. Swinging flies and drifting nymphs has been effective for fly anglers, and jigs drifted under bobbers works well for anglers using spinning rods or bait casters.
