Float Fishing for Steelhead

Steelhead fishing was great again today, float fishing has been great for us as we are finding lots of Steelhead feeding in small pockets.  There are a lot of dropback Steelhead around but we are seeing a handfull of pre spawn fish each day as well.  Fred and Rick are pictured below with a couple of the Steelhead they caught float fishing today.
