Winter Steelhead Fishing

Winter Steelhead Fishing Report – Umpqua River and Northern California Coastal Rivers
After a much-needed rainfall, the rivers are finally receiving the boost they need, and as the waters begin to drop and clear, we’re expecting Winter Steelhead fishing to return in full force across the Umpqua River and Northern California coastal rivers.
The recent rain has increased water flow, improving conditions for Steelhead to run and feed. With the rivers now starting to drop, we’re seeing excellent opportunities for productive days on the water. Steelhead are starting to move into prime fishing areas, and with water temperatures becoming more favorable, these hard-fighting fish are actively feeding and ready to bite!
For anglers targeting the Umpqua River, expect great results as the conditions settle, with many Steelhead pushing into the system. The Northern California and Southern Oregon coastal rivers, including the Smith and Sixes Rivers, will also see increased fish activity, offering exciting opportunities for anglers who are prepared and know where to go.
Whether you’re fishing from a drift boat or casting from the shore, conditions will be ideal for a productive day. Keep your gear ready and be prepared for some of the best Steelhead action we’ve seen this season!
