FLYJUNKIESFLYFISHING- the DARK MAGGIE... October 18, 2009Well It's Now Fall, and for a great many of us, Our Thoughts turn to pursuing Steelhead. Steelhead can be caught most every month in some River out West, but here in California, Fall and Winter are the prime times for Steelhead making their epic journeys up Rivers from the Ocean. I haven't targeted Steelhead in a number of years and This Year the u […]noreply@blogger.com (Dean Endress)

A small run of late fall steelhead enter the lower section of the river and wait in the deep holes for spring to come. The fish are finicky, but will hit flies and lures on occasion.
