Conditions
Steelhead are showing as cooler late-September temperatures favor the season start, though returns remain low and no closures are in effect. As of September 27, flows were falling at 3,200 cfs and water temperature sat at 57 degrees. As water levels drop, consider heavier line and bigger attractors positioned near the edges where fish are relocating into newly fishable habitat.
