Hit Reiter at day break with a buddy to see if we could scratch out a steelhead before the river went back out. There were about 15 - 20 folks on the hatchery side and around 10 on the highway side. We got decent spots and fished it hard till the sun was up. My buddy then moved down to the cable hole where there were another 10 folks fishing. I stayed at the hatchery and moved around as folks were leaving. We fished until 10 when the rain really moved in and the river started coloring up and rising. We had no takedowns and saw no take downs or hookups. The river was definitely in good enough condition to hit fish until we left so I was surprised that absolutely nothing happened. Run must be over or darn near it.......tight lines.

I went out that day. Saw same amount of people. I managed to get my limit. two 12lbers. What were you using? I caught mine and bounced. I was using the pink wiggler. Give it a shot. I think the run is faboulous this year. tight lines, jake.

Yesterday? What side were you on and what time did you hit your fish? We were using float and jigs primarily but we saw everything being used around us with no results. We were one of the last folks in the morning wave to leave the parking lot and never heard of or saw a fish. Great job!

Hey fishslammer, you should post a report and put up some pics. I was out there too. Pretty sure you are the only success story from what I was seeing.

I was fishing above the intake. I just find it humorous that some of the guys that have 5 star days/ or 2 fish days, when everyone else is reporting zilch, never have pictures. Two 12lbers? And you had your phone out while landing one. Things that make ya say HMMMM!!
