Well, let me know if you hit any north coast streams and have any luck or hear of any winters being caught. I want to really hit the winter steel hard this year but I don't want to start too early.

If you wait for a fishing report then you are going to be a day late.

I I am learning how to fish.
Just like anything practice practice and then more practice. There is absolutely no substitution for time on the water. As was already stated you can't catch em if your line is not in the water. The smaller north coast streams as well as a couple of small Columbia river tribs would be a good place to start. i.e. North Fork Nehalem, Gnat Creek, Big Creek.
I understand this- but fishing for coho in July wouldn't make sense would it? That's what I am getting at.
You can catch them right now, you just gotta get out and try it. It took me over a year before I hooked my first Steelhead. It takes a lot of time on the water.
I am still very much a beginner at Steelhead fishing, but this year has been my most rewarding year ever. I read everything I could find on this forum and then went out and failed miserably -- over and over again. But while I was doing this I was gaining experience (I was also having fun)...then when some very kind people (members of this forum) pointed out some things for me to try and to change, I was ready to accept and act on the advice given. And "lo and behold" -- I started catch fish.Good things are worth working for!

I caught a fluke Coho on july 30 on the Kalama about 5 years ago.And in the salt that is the best time of year.The great thing about steelhead is that you can find them every month of the year in this state as well as washington. Knowing when the timing of the fish you are after optimizes your chances.That I definitely agree with.Steelhead can definitely be tough to catch.... Find someone who is willing to take you who catches fish, buy the beer bait tackle gas ect. and pick their brain for everthing they will giveup
