You’ve chosen a forum that has been extremely helpful to me in learning a solid base for steelhead fishing. However, setting your base and finding the right water, with the right presentation, at the right time are very different things. The river OFFers way more than just the tug of a steelie. — youve gotta be committed and stubborn. And even with those traits, I think it’s safe to say that many of us still draw blanks regularly. —good luck out there.
mostly fishing bobber presentations like jigs, beads, and eggs. 9'6 casting rod, and all my fishing is from the banks of the Clackamashobster said:What techniques are you using? You should be a bit more specific for help. Don’t feel bad, I spent around 50 hours fishing for steel before landing my first if I remember correctly

Yeah pretty easy to catch fish with Tanner. When I learned everybody was drift fishing, a much harder technique to learn. Especially when you learned on your own, without a guidepinstriper said:I don’t get what is so hard. The first fish I ever caught in my life was a native steelhead. Took about an hour after we launched. I caught a hatchery hen that same day a few hours later.
Its actually pretty simple once you know what it means when you can’t see your bobber any more.
Tanner was there, so that helps explain it.
It’s tough out there right now, we need some good rains to get things going. This weekend should help hopefully. Fish low in the rivers is my advice.HombreLibro85 said:mostly fishing bobber presentations like jigs, beads, and eggs. 9'6 casting rod, and all my fishing is from the banks of the Clackamas
Aton said:I might suggest heading to the coast streams for a greater % chance. At least until some fish move on up.
