There's a nice run of wild coho in there but I've never heard of steelhead.

Post by: alwaysfishn on March 14, 2008, 10:12:57 PM: What I meant was both of us need to get up to 10 posts before they'll let us into the fishhing report section. Your posts are just fine....

2 more to go...

I've actually caught some really nice cutties in the sumas river over the years. However they are pretty sparse.

Apparently there are sturgeon in there at times although I have yet to catch one, but there is carp as well and I do know that for a fact.

I would imagine there is cuttthroat in there too, I know there are a few rainbows as I have caught some smaller ones in the 8 -12 inch length. Actually on bread of all things under a bobber while I was fishing for carp. That was actually the first place I ever caught trout on bread.....

If memory serves me right there is an age restricted creek (I can't remember the name off hand) that flows into the Sumas that they used to stock with rainbows at one time, not sure if they do anymore, so I am not sure if they are from their or just resident rainbows.

The age restricted stream that flows into the Sumas would be Marshal (Lonzo) Creek.

I believe other systems are more productive for cutts.
