CM, I fished the Situk for about four years in a row but that was quite a few years ago. Fishing was excellent with lots of fish.. I remember catching both males and females but I can't remember the ratio. Before I fished it, you could use bait and you could keep fish. When I fished it, you could keep only one steelhead for the season but it had to be a minimum of 36" and no bait was allowed. We never kept any fish however. There is a Spring and Fall run in the river. If I remember correctly, the numbers of fish in the Spring run (April and May) are larger then the Fall run but the Fall run fish tend to be larger. ADFG cut steelhead retention and eliminated bait fishing (before I fished it) because the numbers of fish were dropping drastically. When I fished it the numbers had rebounded nicely. But I haven't been there in more than 10 years. A tiny brushy stream but terrific numbers of fish.
