December steelhead fishing was up and down. We had some stretches of good fishing and periods where it was pretty tough. The weather was up and down as well. As far as the run of fish that came into the river this fall, while the size of the fish was impressive, the number of fish seemed to be on the lighter side. As we close out the month of December, a polar air mass is setting in for awhile. I’ve seen it before, when the weather breaks and the rivers open up, the fish should be ready to play.
