Warm tips for winter steelhead fishing

Steelhead conserve energy during winter months. They become downright lazy, laying around in slow water waiting for food to float by. Set irresistable bait offerings in front of their noses.

- Seek areas of slow moving water farther inland.

- Look for convergences between slow pools and faster water.

- Fish inlet heads and side branches.

- Eddies can be productive when you let the bait drift over.

- Bright-colored spawn sacs always work best (see selection in Fishing Gear, sidebar link).
