River trout fishing
« on: January 13, 2014, 07:34:57 PM »

With the slow start to steelhead fishing comes a bunch of questions; where the steelheads at?; over fishing?; Season just late?; pollution?; too many predators?; etc.

Anyway, back to the subject: trout river fishing.

I've heard more trout/chat caught in the river than steelies so far but neither for me yet.

I figure the best method would be float fishing with lots of hiking and also give an opportunity for both steelhead and trouts.


Any advice on how to catch more trout/char in the rivers ?

most bulls are caught as a bycatch while targeting steel, so keep hunting steel.

bulltrout like deep pools and runs in the river and are also found in some tailouts anything steel like bulls like.
