Summer Steelhead?

If you haven’t noticed yet this summer has been HOT! As a result the summer skamania steelhead have not moved into the rivers yet. There have been reports of random fish here and there, but as far as a “run” of fish, it hasn’t really happened. Usually by the first week of July anglers start seeing these chrome torpedoes in decent numbers. I’m hoping that these fish have been patiently waiting near river mouths for some cool temperatures and a little precipitation to get them moving upstream. This weeks weather might be just what we need to get a good push of fish into Michigan and Indiana streams. If your up for the challenge remember to leave the two-handed rods behind and go with something short and stout, Indiana’s small creeks are tight with brush and littered with log-jams.
