February 5, 2010: Steelhead fishing is typical for mid winter; when the fish are in the mood it can be good or you may have to work for the fish. Water levels are low and clear. Egg patterns, stoneflies, and small fry patterns are all on the menu right now. Trout fishing with nymphs and streamers can also be good at this time of the year along the soft edges of the river.
