Anyone into steelhead fishing? Ive been going up now and then ive caught a few so far but with all this rain they should be breaking through pretty good now… i usually been going up on saturday or random days here and there on the weekends… just seeing if anyone else was going and see if they wanted to car pool… im mainly fly fishing… but been known to grab a spinnging rod but very rare… prob might head up saturday early morning and fish till afternoon… ---

i almost always fish Elk, i can’t stand the crowds on Walnut unless you go way up stream. Its hard to flyfish walnut also. i’m really disappointed in myself for not getting up there but i went by Mckean the other day and people were fishing that far up already. ---
