The full swing of winter steelhead is here. The middle of the month we had some of the coldest temps you would want to fish in — pushing single digits in the morning. But those who were willing to go out were rewarded with some fantastic fishing. One of my favorite moments is getting to watch some of my clients catch their very first steelhead. That is something quite special, and we have had the chance to do that a lot lately. Now, the temps and river levels have moderated. The Snohomish River System has picked up lately, as has the Cowlitz. Look for the Chalais system’s to kick into gear any time now as well. It’s not too early to start thinking SPRINGERS. A predicted run of 470,000 in the Columbia should be an awesome fishing season. Mean time, still plenty of Steelhead to be had. Give me a call.
Sincerely,
