I started the morning off at Cedar Creek and there were 6 cars in the hatchery lot at 7:30. Water level looked good, at around 10.3 ft at the gauge and dropping but it was crystal clear. Nobody on the bank had caught anything by 10 AM, but a rafter floating by claimed to have caught one. I tried a #4 silver blue fox, floating a pink aerojig, and drifting a pink worm before giving up. I didn't like my patch of bank so I decided to move over to the Clack.
I drove to Barton park and fished the drift above the boat ramp/bridge. The water was perfect steelhead green, and not flowing too fast. There were only a couple other guys there and it didn't look like anyone had caught anything. I didn't have any bites drifting that pink worm or yarn egg patterns.
I didn't expect to catch anything, it still being pretty early for steelhead, but I thought I'd try. I didn't spot any fish rolling either.
So no luck, but at least I got some much needed time on the water and I managed to get into work in Hillsboro by 1.
