Steelhead fishing has been fair. Water conditions continue to be low and clear. We’re expecting a small amount of rain mid-week, but water levels will likely remain the same. Conditions are favorable for plunking and for using a drift boat.

The ODFW angler caught winter steelhead broodstock program started last week. This is an annual program to collect adult steelhead to be spawned for the hatchery program on the river. Anglers interested in participating or would like more information can call the ODFW Gold Beach office at 541-247-7605.
