Winter steelhead is a
blast and usually kicks off in October and runs through late
January, when there's not much else to do with the weather
being nasty and cold. Fishing from my covered and heated boat
isn't a problem with the cooler temps and rainy, foggy
weather conditions--we still catch lots of fish. Daily limit the
last few years has been three adult fish. We use trolling plugs
or fresh baits and spinners. Day trips and night fishing trips
are both encouraged. Here on the Columbia River it is not
uncommon to catch the Upper Snake River fish which range from
18-22lbs. |
