Wynoochee Steelhead

Cory B  and I floated  the Wynoochee Sunday 1-27-12  the overall water conditions were good. We had 6 feet of vis. The water  stayed between 1100 & 1200cfs, slowly dropping in the morning and on a slow rise in the afternoon. The sky was overcast with a constant rain/drizzle all day .The overall fishing was good but not great we hooked 4 steelhead two free drifting and two on bobbers . Most of the fish being caught were bright hatchery fish but I also heard of a few wild ones.

 

 

Mid January steelhead

Matt S and I spent the weekend fishing a few of the smaller streams.

The weather was cold in the mornings which caused a few issues with freezing lines and rod guides, but warmed a bit in the afternoons.

The water conditions were low and clear, and still dropping. We hooked 10 steelhead and landed 6 this weekend. We were able to catch a couple of hatchery fish  the rest  were wild. We had our best results fishing jigs & floats but  also hooked a few on drift gear.

It looks like we are having a good start to the wild season, I hope it continues  over the next few months.
