Late spring/early summer is absolutely my favorite time of the year, especially fishing for those chrome summeruns or springers. When the mayflowers bloom is when the summer steelhead return. I love to camp out on the river get up at 5 AM and fish until 9 PM. Maybe take a nap when the sun bakes the canyon in the afternoon. The river is lower, clearer and you can see the fish, with your Polarized glasses. Even a rain shower is welcome because the fish seem to wake up. The steelhead bite agressively and do aerials high in the air when hooked. They seem to hold higher in the hole or hide in the riffles during the hot afternoon. Nothing beats eating fresh summerun or springer for dinner, with your buddies before sleep and getting ready to do it again the next morning.
