Fish Report for 2-23-2023

If you’re looking to bank fish, this is a good option

2-23-2023
Kenny Priest

The Van Duzen went up to 480 cfs on Wednesday but should be on a slow drop through the weekend. If you’re looking to bank fish, this is a good option. Boats are reportedly catching a few fresh steelhead per day. With rain coming, it could blow out early next week.
