The Fishing Report: Must be the season of the witch

This has got to be the strangest Steelhead season I can ever remember. Back in the 70’s when the “D” word was a common topic at the dinner table I was only fishing in the salt water. My understanding was that the fishing was horrible. There was no hatchery program and the river was a dessert. Then in 1983 Warm Springs Dam was finished and along with it the Hatchery to provide angler mitigation for the loss of habitat and subsequent loss of fish. Since then, we have had rainfalls sufficient to fill the reservoirs and the hatchery has filled the rivers with Steelhead. Often our biggest problem was having too much rain and not having it rain long enough so the rivers would clear so we could fish.
