The winter steelhead season is winding down at the end of this month on most of the eastside steelhead waters. We have been getting some fairly good reports coming off the Methow, Okanogon and the Columbia. Though the fish are fairly colored up, it's still fun to go and play with them. The picture above is an 11.8 pound hatchery fish caught by Dale Reece fishing with Jeff Witkowski. With the warming weather and water it has brought a lot of fish from the warmer Columbia River into the tributaries. Make sure that you read your regulations before you head out!
