SMITH RIVER STEELHEAD REPORT
Steelhead fishing has been slow this past week on the Smith possibly due to low clear fishing conditions, fewer fish in the system or a combination of the two. We have concentrated all of our steelhead fishing efforts for the last week and a half on another north coast river system with some really good fishing for steelhead to 17 pounds. However, rain is returning to the north coast for the next seven plus days and is certainly welcomed on the Smith and should offer some fantastic steelhead fishing this coming week. Many north coast rivers that fished this past week are rising at the time of this report and the Smith is forecasted to rise to 12.5 feet at the Jed Smith park gauge and slowly drop Monday thru Friday. Adult steelhead that are being caught on the Smith River this past week have been side drifting roe and a Quickie puffball. Steelhead have averaged 8 to 12 pounds with steelhead in the high teens and low twenty pound class a real possibility on this river. Daily scores reported on the Smith have been one to three fish per outing. These recent rains will hopefully bring in a better push of fresh steelhead into the Smith. Anglers should call ahead for current river conditions as conditions can change quickly on the Smith River.

Professional guide service will be available for guided driftboat trips on the Smith River January thru March 2008.
