WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, trout Summer steelhead are present, but it looks like numbers are down a little this year. There are steelhead sporadically throughout the system. Low clear water and warm water temperatures can make fishing for summer steelhead challenging, but there can be some good action. Drift fishing, spinners, and flies are good choices. Light line, small presentations, and fishing the riffles and deep pools at first and last light can increase success. Warm water temperatures can stress fish and increase hooking mortality, so anglers are encouraged to avoid catch-and-release fishing during the heat of the day. Sea run cutthroat are in the tidewater areas and beginning to move upstream.
