Used my day off to brave the chill and try for some Steelies after hearing the river has cleared up. Tied up some jigs under a float and started around 7A.M. water was too quick for a float down river so I moseyed back up to the hatchery and tried to find a spot. Saw one nice fish caught that decided to take the fisherman for a swim, luckily no one got swept away. As for me no such luck. All the people that were catching fish seemed to drift fishing. So I packed up and left around 11.

Anyone have some advice for a fairly new steelhead fisherman?

Always try to match those who are catching is a good place to start.

Read anything written by Bill Herzog. He teaches you how to read a river and what important factors determine steelhead placement in the river. Summer or winter fish, they'll be in the same areas depending mainly on water temp. Get a fishing thermometer.

Ryan is a good dude, you should hit him up and pay for a guided day on the river to get hooked up. Reel priorities, I think
