It's fall here in Shasta county and that means it's time to start chasing steelhead trout! As the king salmon enter the upper reaches of the Sacramento River, the steelhead are never far behind. We have been catching steelhead on a regular basis already, and catch rates should remain solid through early winter. Our primary techniques for catching these awesome fish has been to drift natural cured roe, egg imitation beads, or back troll Mag Lip 3.0 plugs. Keep checking our website for some great steelhead pics in the weeks to come!
