Olympic Peninsula Steelhead Fly Fishing Report – 2/8/10

The wild winter steelhead are in. 20+ pounders are being caught and the rivers are in prime shape. TheÊHoh RiverÊis getting low and is fishing great. There are a lot of fish between Spruce Creek and Oil City. A lot of chrome fish are moving in and the river is prime to swing. Dark colored leeches have been doing the best lately. Nymphing has been the goto with egg patterns. TheÊSol DucÊis fishing ok below the hatchery. Early last week was prime, but now the fish are spread out. You have to work hard with long dead drifts with the river getting low and clear. After the next push of rain theÊCalawah RiverÊshould get a lot of fish heading up it.
