Yesterday, I returned to a place that I haven't been to in the past 4 or 5 years. It's a freestone stream which has connectivity to the salt. It's remote, my buddy and I saw maybe 3 or 4 vehicles all day and no other anglers. That's pretty much how it's always been.
In November after the first good bump, fall run steelhead show up, usually in good numbers. These models are smallish, typical for the watershed with the average size between 20" and 24". I occasionally get the larger cohort (up to about 8 pounds), but usually during the winter months. I prefer to fish the early run as they are willing biters and there are more of them. The steelhead were there - in almost every run. Just the way I remembered it...
