I have caught Loads of Steelhead right where you were fishing. I started fishing jigs back in 98 and thats where we fished. I tell you right now i have seen a lot of fish landed at that boat ramp, and at this time of the year. I bet most of you know about SYS jigs made by larry sys ,however i bet almost none of you know that we were buying those jigs out of a barber shop in jefferson 12 years ago.
Water conditions were not optimal, wait for the river to get back into shape, and fish it. You can head upriver to jefferson and catch fish there when the water is hi , jefferson fishes better. I seen summer steelhead caught in febuary , "yes i know the difference" between a winter with a fin, and a summer chrome bullet. If i lived in the valley there is more then one tributary i would be fishing in the next few days.
