Remember the limit on

WILSON RIVER:
Steelhead, trout
Summer steelhead fishing
on the Wilson has been moder-
ate to slow, but there are fish
throughout the system. Late
August and September can be
a great time to target these fish
as cooler nights lower water
temps, and fish that have been
holding get more active.
Target riffles and the top of
pools during first and last
light, and concentrate on deep-
er holding pools once the sun
is on the water.
Fishing stealthy, with light
gear, and targeting first and
last light is often the key to
success with these fish.
The Wilson doesn’t open for
fall Chinook above tide water
(Hwy 101 bridge) until Sept.
16.
Trout is also season open
and there should be some nice
cutthroat around. Remember,
the limit on streams and rivers
is two per day over 8 inches.

the story incorrectly stated that

25-22, 25-20 and 25-20.
Also, Makenzie York was
listed as a senior; she is a jun-
