7-Day Fishing Outlook
Multiple days of heavy rain ahead — expect significant flow increases and muddy water. Plan trips for windows between rain events or 1-2 days after.
Best day to fish: Monday — Light rain will bump flows slightly and give overcast skies — steelhead feed aggressively in these conditions.
Thursday is the day before rain moves in — barometric pressure drop often triggers aggressive feeding. Don't miss it.
