Anyone have a fish journal, from last year or the year before when you first caught a winterun steelhead on the Wynoochee? I'm just wondering if this rain is going to bring some winteruns in or its gonna be acouple of more weeks yet? thanks

Ryan,

After looking through my journal entries for this month, it looks like this rain might very well bring in some fresh winter fish. Remeber, though, that many variables come into play here, so this is by no means a scientific answer. I have a couple years where I caught fresh winter fish over the Thanksgiving weekend, but like they say, that was then this is now.

If it was me, though, I'd be giving the Nooch a serious look once it starts to drop again. Either that, or start looking for the hooknosers in the Satsop. Either one would probably be a decent bet. Drop me an email and let me know if you hit the Nooch today, and how you did.

Fish on.........
