A couple slugs of 4-8 lb steelhead are in the system. Concentrate fishing from Garberville to Leggett. Both swinging and dead drifting steelhead patterns are catching fish. Look for the catching to improve in coming weeks. Access at the town of Garberville and off Hwy 267.
Fishing is fair, but slowing for adult steelhead.
Best fishing is between first light and 10am and 3pm to dark. Concentrate on fishing riffles, slots, and choppy flats that are holding salmon. A few good storms are needed to move more steelhead higher up in the river. Concentrate on the low flow section below the Hwy 70 bridge to the outlet. Fishing is fair and improving.
