Very little fishing pressure. Anglers plunking Spin-n-Glos and/or running a plug or fly-fishing have been picking up a few steelhead. Increased flows and the thoughts of catching the first spring Chinook should get more anglers out.

ODFW has a crew conducting an angler creel survey through April 30 to monitor angling pressure on the river and steelhead catch.

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
