WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, trout Summer steelhead fishing on the Wilson has been moder- ate to slow, but there are fish throughout the system. 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.
