Steelhead are scattered through the river, but low flow conditions have kept most anglers at home. Rain and snow this week may temporarily blow the river out, but there should be some good fishing conditions as flow drop and clear.

There are new license requirements to fish for winter steelhead in 2023 on south coast rivers and anglers should check the new regulation book prior to fishing.
