The Sky is indeed going through some leen times for Steelhead. Ive only fished it three days since june 1 and found a fish everyday but it consisted of long hours of flogging every drift i knew. My buddies that fish it everyday tell me things are really tough now. There are a few fish behind the usual rocks, not many

I agree with Brood. I could care less about the winter hatchery pukes. They shoot through to Reiter in 4 days, leaving 40 miles of beautiful water nearly void. The Nates need full protection and habitat enhancment in certain spawning areas. I landed my two biggest steelhead in Feb this year.

Problem is; without Reiter the river would be shutdown even to CNR...
