An early taste of Winter-Steelheader’s delight!
October 27th, 2008Steelhead numbers have increased with the recent precip & dropping water temps! Water temps are currently in the mid to lower 40’s depending upon river system-precipation in the forms of both rain & snow has added a bit more water to the streams which has a few more Steelhead midgrating upstream. Well placed drifts & good technique has paid dividends in the form of chrome-there is some damn nice Steelhead around this Fall. A few fish over the 10 lb mark already & the average has been around 8 lbs-this is much larger than we are traditionally used to. I cannot say enough good things about fall Steelhead-a special fish that can humble even the most seasoned fly angler in mere seconds.
Hook up & hold on- Fall Steel!!
