Skykomish Steelheading

Even with the low clear water that we have been experiencing this month the steelheading in the Reiter Ponds section of the Skykomish has been reasonably good. I would not say that it has been outstanding by any means but those that have been finesse fishing with smaller baits and light 6 pound fluorocarbon leaders have been doing just fine. The fishing is a little bit of a challenge to say the least but that makes it fun! It looks like we are going to finally see a little bit of rain in the next few days and in turn we should see at least a little change in the height of the river and with that change we should see the bite come on. Perhaps Christmas Day will be the day!
