We managed to get out before the heavy rains brought the river levels up and again found the water in perfect condition for flyfishing. This month has been spectacular, not only in the numbers of steelhead in the rivers, but also in the water level and clarity. Fishing under indicators has been our primary method, though with recent conditions, swinging would have been a viable option as well. We hooked more native fish than hatchery, which is nice since they seem to contain more explosiveness and a willingness to leave their watery confines, taking to the air in acrobatic expletives. The day was filled with consistent action, sometimes taking two fish from a spot before floating on. Citing numbers is pointless, but it might help to add that at the end of the day all involved said that the fishing was phenomenal. This outstanding December is hopefully an excellent introduction to a prolific winter steelhead season. As the rivers drop back into shape look for fishing quality fishing to continue and consider North Coast Angling when planning a trip to sample this amazing fish.
