Got to reiter at 6:05 with only 2 other cars there. Had my one and only steelhead for the day by 6:15. Check out your jigs guys. Some have a pianted head that holds a bright orange glow for about two casts, but doesnt advertise that it does. Dad caught an 18inch dolly that faught just as good as my 5-6 pound buck. The dolly was released. I did not see any other fish caught today, and left by 8:00.

Nice fish snoop. Were you fishing above the outlet? It seems like the water is just 2 feet deep below and guys wading almost across.

Yes. I prefer above the outlet, and it has a deeper slot, but its pretty similar to fishing below. I dont necessarily have a reason for going above or below. I had about a 20 inch leader to my jig with the float stop right at the float and I was hitting bottom in a couple spots.

Nice catch Snoop! Are you sure you're aloud to fish that early up at Reiter? I thought that there is night closures on that river and that you can only fish for an hour before sun rise and an hour after dusk? Sunrise today was at 7:57 so I'm thinking the earlies you can fish there is 6:57. Not hating just wondering. Thanks for the report

Well I did what I should have done in the first place and looked at the regs and it says that the night closure was lifted on 11-30. I feel stuid for asking now but I did learn something lol
