RagingBull 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2011 Not sure what they are hitting on at the moment. I normally dont fish steelhead once the creeks freeze over however i have always had luck on egg patterns. Sucker spawns, crystal meth and milking eggs tend to work every time im up there. It wouldnt hurt to throw a couple clousers or thunder creeks either. Good luck and tight lines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackriverbowyer 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2011 we wont be fishing for a few weeks here sorry to say most of the rivers are still in flood stage and a few dams have either broke or threating to. Keep an eye on the charts. What river are you looking at fishing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
