Remember, conditions change fast, so check ahead before heading out, and good luck. Emergency steelhead regulations are in effect. Basically, the coastal rivers north of the Russian River are closing to all steelhead fishing on 14 Mar 98. Rumor has it the regulations will again change before the 14 Mar 98. We will have an update on the regs in our next report.
Fishing is sporadic.
Water conditions are barely low and clear enough to flyfish. Swing 10 ft type 6 sink tips with dark steelhead patterns or streamers. Fish are being caught throughout the day at Sailor Bar, Sunrise, and Goethe Park. Rain will easily blow out the river. Baum Lake Clear, cold.
