Though there are still some late returning coho in the system, most fish that might be present are currently spawning, or on the way to do so, and better left undisturbed. Winter steelhead are finally on the horizon, with rumors of a few having already been caught. Anglers can expect to find greater numbers in the system with each passing rain event throughout the winter.
