Steelhead Season 2009 - Week 3

Well...we need rain...

The fish are starting to really stage at the river mouths. Even with a little bit of rain over the weekend...we haven't gotten the rivers up at all. Many of the fish in the systems have been seeing lots of flies, so getting eager fresh fish has been difficult at best. Smaller nymphs have been the ticket in the clear conditions. The best chance right now is surf casting streamers near a river mouth...

Regretfully, I didn't wet a line either...

However, Mike already has his first trip booked for Halloween weekend. You can bet there should be some good stories and pictures taken, but until then, we'll hold out for the rain...

Till then, we'll keep searching for reports and rain...
