Oregon Coast Steelhead

N Umpqua River (near Roseburg, OR)

I spent the week of March 1 in search of winter run steelhead coming in on the Northwest Oregon Coast - the Nehalem, Wilson, and even the N. Umpqua River.  Not a single bite, but a great week on the water nonetheless.  If anything, I learned the area and that steelhead like a bit or rain and dreariness.  Oregon had seen almost 2 weeks of sun when I arrived, and it stayed that way through the week.  Water levels were down and fish were tucked away.  I at least managed a few trout here and there, but could not find the elusive steelhead.  Maybe next time.  Remaining patient...and perserverant.
