Fished in Auburn near HWY 18 yesterday afternoon. Heard of a few steelhead caught lately so I brought both my chum and my steelie setups. Saw a few chum roll so I went with that plan and caught around 8 fish in the 4 hours I was there. Several in very good condition and one brute that took me 15 minutes to get in that was pushing 15 lbs. Definitely the toughest chum landed this year for me. Pink jig tipped with prawn as always. Considering the condition of all the fish I saw caught I would say the run is not over yet.

I like raw unpeeled prawns in the larger sizes so I can cut them into 3 pieces of bait. A quarter pound will give you a day or more of fishing so it is fairly economical. Safeway and QFC have them on sale frequently. They are deadly for chum by tipping the jig and I use them for steelhead when driftfishing. I have done just about as well with them as sandshrimp and they can be reused over several fishing outings unlike sandshrimp. I also use eggs and sandshrimp for steelhead because changing up is important when things are slow or unproductive. I won't go chum fishing without prawns(where legal)....they seem to really up my chances.
