There must be.... The flows were actually bumped up to 5K AFTER July 1st and that must have sucked some fish up early.

I think we have some salmon, adult Steelhead and smaller Halfpounders Steelhead in the river almost year round now.

Sept/Oct is a prime time though.

In the heat fish real early and late in the day for good results.

**High flows do bring in lots of salmon, stripers and steelhead.

Why do high flows bring the fish in ?:-k

[Terry Thomas]

Higher flows usually bring lower water temps.

[djwattswatts]

just wanted to know were some good spots are to wade for steelhead ?

Higher flows bring the smell of the home river down into the transitory river or the ocean, triggering the fish to seek it out.
