Steelhead FIshing Has Been Slow

Not much happening on the Smith as most of the anglers have put away their steelhead gear for the winter. The few boats still out are getting a chance at one to two fish per day. That could change by the weekend however as flows are predicted to jump to 10.5 feet on the Jed Smith gauge. That should kickstart the spawned-out fish to begin moving downriver, and will likely bring in a few more fresh steelhead.
