Skykomish - Steelheading

The water has dropped into extremely low and clear conditions. Most anglers are having a very hard time conecting with steelhead and many have decided to hang up the rod until we a good rain and a rise in the water. Those however that know how to finese fish are still finding a good number fo fish for their efforts. John that works for us managed to land three in a few hours of fishing Tuesday afternoon and his friend Don had two. Secret to success was fishing light 6 pound flourocarbon leaders and small jigs. Not to mention that both of them know exactly where the fish are going to lay in these conditions after years of fishing steelhead. Both John and Don both enjoy the chalange of steelheading under these low water conditions. Though we are seeing a little rain today I am sure that it will not do a thing to the river. If you need a little help on steelheading under these conditions just stop by and talk with John.
