Report Date:
http://www.truckeeriveroutfitters.comWe are getting reports of Spring-run Halfpounder Steelhead being caught in the Sailor Bar area. There are small Steelhead in there 12 to 18 inches and larger eating caddis and salmon fry. This is usually good March, April and May if we don't get any more big storms. I would look for them from early morning till noon and again about 3:00PM till dark in most riffles from the Nimbus fish hatchery downstream to Watt Avenue.
At this time of year we have some wild Spring-run adult Steelhead that run 4 to 6 pounds too. There are two biologist who have been doing a study on them now for several years.
Be sure to get a new 2007 fishing license, Delta Enhancement stamp and Steelhead punch card.
