Steelhead

[salmonfisher]

Hey everyone,
in the last couple of days ive been going out to the various tribs but caught nothing. The water is extremely muddy and i haven't spotted any fish. Can anyone give me some advice please. Should i keep fishing or wait until the mud goes down ? Are the fish even there?
thanks.

Has it rained recently out that way to muddy up the water ?
You'll have to connect with the eastern trib steelheaders to solve this one .
Where I live , the rivers and the water up here are really clear and low .

Yesterday was very clear out west. I'm guessing those two tribs were "murky" by your normal standards no? They get much more muddy than they are at the moment :smile:

Fishing is normally better in those conditions anyway.By experience I can tell you they see us better than we see them.

Went for a walk today and bowmanville was as low as I have seen it this year and super crystal clear. Its been clear for over a week, where did you go that you found muddy water?

With the water being low and clear try small subtle presentations in deep slow moving pools, most fish are in a holding pattern waiting for the rain to hit. If we get a few good solid rains before the opener the opener will suck for the crowds

Even with clear water, steelhead can be difficult to spot. So just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they are not there.

There are still lots of opportunity to catch lots of steelhead now.
