Reiter Ponds - Steelheading

We saw just a few inches of charge in water height with the meager rains that we have had over the past couple of days but that is all it took to perk up the fish in this terminal area. The past three days have produced some fairly good results for a good number of our customers. Though the water has been low and clear the fish responded to the very slight increase in water flow. One of our regular customers hooked 10 steelhead over the weekend. We had one of the other regulars in early this afternoon that had just came back from the Reiter area and mentioned that he had seen quite a number of fish caught there today. He managed to catch his two fish limit. It appears that we are going to see some additional rain this week and with it we just might see some of the better fishing of this winters season. We are generally right at the height of our hatchery season at the present time.
