To late to steelhead?
« on: March 13, 2012, 04:45:13 PM »
Hey guys tomorrow I have a full day off, the first one in a long time. Do you think the Tucannon will be holding some Steelhead still?

There is definitely still fish in the upper river, but check the flows it may not be fishable if it keeps rising.

It won't be blown out yet but it is still coming up, I would check later this evening to see if it levels out.  There will be wild fish throughout the river, a lot of the hatchery will be in the upper section or above the deadline.

You can always bring trout gear, most of  the lakes in the tucannon  are open, something to do if the river is blown out.

I know that most the rivers that I have been visiting it is too late.  If you catch them you will have a native or a spawned out fish which means the meat will not be that good.  The Cowlitz is on it's way down and it would be a good river to fish now and through out this week.   The "B" run is in with all that water.
