Skunked.

The same water that has been yielding good catches of native steelhead turned stingy yesterday. After the Oregon Fly Fishing Blog crew landed 11 steelhead last week I was skunked yesterday. I watched one timid steelhead strike short and that was the extent of the action. The coastal rivers are just skin and bones right now; we need a decent freshet to bring a fresh push of natives into the systems and get the fish that are in the rivers already feeling a little more secure. Until then it’s a trout show.
