Not looking for any secret spots or whatever, just little info on these fish and maybe when I should be targeting them. Thanks!


The Green River used to be the number one steelhead river or close back in the 70s. I got a chance to fish it once about 15 years ago and caught a couple smolt. Nice river but I'd fish a river that has a run of hatchery summeruns. Check out the dfw site to learn more where to go. If you are in to catch and release then go explore. My preference would be to fish a river where you have a good chance.
