Schedule Steelhead Dates
#6
They stock them in Oct - Nov, at least that's been the way for the past several years.

Fished in town (between BSU and Barber park) - tons of anglers - didn't see anyone else hook a steelie, but I managed to hook 3. Landed 1, first one rolled off almost immediately - last fish ran straight for the bottom and I think made contact with the river bottom when she came un-hooked. Other one fought very well and was a blast on a 6 wt rod. Fishing was pretty good - but most guys were throwing bait or fishing giant flies - I downsized and it seemed to pay off.

I think they take the fish from Hells Canyon - waiting for fish to reach the hatchery would mean that only super tired fish would get into the river - and that would prob mean a low survival rate after being transported.

Tight Lines!
