Rain - Rain - Rain - Rivers Out

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, which for many of us marks the start of the winter steelhead season. Unfortunately it appears that we will not be doing much on the river fishing scene the way the rain has dumped putting the rivers to flood stage or just below. If one has to go steelheading I would have to say the salt water scene on the western beaches of Whidbey Island will be where it is going to be. Some of the smaller streams such as the Wallace or the Cascade will be the first to become fishable once the waters start to subside. Perhaps its going to be one of those weekends to set around and rig gear, do things with the family or just set around eating left overs and watching football!
