Definitely some hatchery fish to be had as well as some early wild ones. Nice to see water in our systems, with plenty reserve in the mountains currently:)
Both nymphing and swing tactics have proved effective. The little wild chromer below took the Blue Fox Fly on an integrated sink tip (6 feet of type 2 and 6 feet of type 4) at the end of the day in the Slick V of a sweet tailout…
The nice hatchery fish below were both caught nymphing egg patterns. The young gal, Reilly, was successful on her first steelhead adventure; She did an awesome job sticking with it and fighting both fish and cold weather! The other image is of Ken and one of the nice hatchery fish he landed.
