Give me a B-R-E-A-K!! Why are so many people on this board so friggin' ignorant?? The guy asked a simple question and you toads can't even give him an easy simple answer to his query! Not even an inch! That totally saddens me that you guys are so anally retentive that you can not even share a minute, tiny bit of info with him! Pathetic!
[xx(] Really Pathetic![V]

Most steelhead enter the SSS and other island flows on an odd year and mainly when the river is aprox 35 degrees or so...it is not worth targeting these elusive fish unless it has been a full moon for at least two weeks straight, while it is very important that the rain hammer down to what seems to be no end, before this long time cousin of the sturgeon enters the flow...normally the best opportunities to snag these bad boys is when the water hits mid tree, or at least 10 to 15 branch's up - it should really be about 14 feet above normal summer flows. It must be raging aprox. 55kmh, otherwise they will not find propery holding water...
My favorite month to hit steel is in mid to late September...man I can hardy wait to hit it again - Yeesh, it sure seems like a long, long, long way away! I cant' wait! I guess I'll have to have alot of planning sessions in the mean time...I am possitive that I did see one last year, I am sure it was a beauty steel...it had to be 40, maybe 50 pounds, and as black as they come. Man it sure was a beauty!
