Fish Report for 12-23-2021

It’s still early for steelhead in numbers to be that high in the system

12-23-2021
Kenny Priest

The South Fork was fishable through Tuesday but it didn’t sound like many, if any, fish were caught. It’s still early for steelhead in numbers to be that high in the system. Predicted to blowout again on Thursday and won’t be in fishable shape through the weekend if the rain predictions come through.
