Steelhead Season January 2012

To catch steelhead in January you first must find open water.  The mid-day hours are the best times of the day to fish.  For safety sake, fish with a buddy, and be prepared for stream edge ice.  Short casts and slowly fishing near the bottom are two keys to success.  Best winter baits are egg sacs, jigs tipped with maggots or minnows.   We recommend that you check the stream gauges before planning your trip.  October through December videos and photos can be found by clicking the Videos - Photos Tab in the Main Menu.
