Whidbey Island - Steelheading

We have been hearing of some fair steelheading from the western beaches of Whidbey Island recently. We spoke with one of our Island regulars who has managed to hook at least a fish a trip the past few weeks. Though he has not been able to land them all, he is at least catching enough to keep him going back. He mentioned that the fishing is as good as he has seen in a few years. Most of the fish at the present time have been hatchery origin fish. With the low clear water conditions in the rivers this might just be a good alternative to the fresh water.
Stop by if you have any questions as we will be more than happy to fill you in on this unique steelhead fishery.
