Wynoochee river steelhead????

[duckmen1]

Anybody have any insight to how steelhead fishing has been down there lately. Haven't spent any time on this river and thinking of checking it out. I'm a bank bound angler with primary methods being bobber drifting jigs, pink worms, single steelhead beads, yarnies. A little hardware like spoons and spinners maybe an option as well as drift fishing EZ eggs. That's my general use on the river and hoping to put it to use. With the nice weather and being burnt out of duck hunting I want to explore new waters. Thanks for any help and good fishing

River is puking mud and trees.  Don't bother.

Nice
Would it be wise to stay on the lower river or stretch higher up. Looks like a pretty long tributary?

There is a slide a little less than 1/2 way through the 7400-White Bridge float.  Fishing above that has been incredible but access is extremely limited.

To fish up along the 7400, 7300 lines wouldn't you need a Weyerhaeuser pass?

Its Green Diamond land, no passes/keys available for purchase at this time. Not sure if you can ride/walk in, but that would be your only option.

Thanks for the clarification.  I will look into it.

it is a couple of miles from the 7400 gate on the wynoochee valley road to the bridge at 7400 crossing.

For a backup plan to check out do you guys think satsop would be worth a look too while I'm down there? It's along the way.

Always worth a look but it has been slow.

[duckmen1]

Lots of options but hard to make a decision when all the rivers are at minimum 1.5 to 2.5 hour drives. And not being out to these rivers before makes it even harder.

get ready for company.

Funny thing about the Wynoochee. I've never fished it, but I've seen it mentioned in magazines and on the net so much, that I can scratch it off my list and label it a $hit show. If I see a river mentioned a thousand times, I know it's not a place I want to fish.

When did the slide happen??
