i live on the border of california and oregon and it depends on what you call with in reach. currently we have not had any rain and all of our rivers are low and clear. but who knows by then. the south fork of the eel is about 4-5 hours north of the battle zone you will be in. the mad river is about another hour north. both rivers have runs of steelhead. the south fork has an acess problem. the mad is more of a bankie river. e-mail me and i will give you a current update. tyeeterror@aol.com
