March Steelhead

Since my last report, I fished a number of days on the Smith River. Fishing here was scratchy for me. Two hookups a day was typical.

On sunday, I moved down to the South Fork Eel, where I turned up some downrunners up high on the system. I kinda felt that fishing up here was a little mediocre.

This week I worked a couple of days with a big group and another guide. We switched river systems altogether and we found some good fishing with a mix of bright and downrunning steelhead.

The rain we recieved yesterday will knock our rivers out for a couple of days but they should be back in by early to mid next week. I expect fishing to be good when the rivers come back around. I do have space for this week, so let me know if your interested in some uncrowded and productive steelhead fishing.
