I carry me regs in my backpack and always check them when heading into new water. So correct me if i'm wrong but it is open year round for steelhead up to the watershed boundary.
Has anyone ever caught a steelhead in The Bull Run River near The Sandy? I was fishing The Sandy at Dodge Park last Sunday and it was way off color. So I headed up the Bull Run River which was running clear and caught several trout but didn't see any Salmon or Steelhead.
Had a good day fishing on a stream near Welches. Caught lots of native rainbows and cutties. Biggest fish of the day was a 12 inch rainbow that put up a great fight. Saw tons of native salmon spawning. Released all my fish so some other lucky person can try to catch them.
