Where are the Steelhead?

[farmerfreddy]

Ok so I would rather not play demolition derby in front of the inlets ect. trying to catch kings!!  Where are the Steelheads this time of year and how should I target them.  thanks in advance.

Run offshore and troll around fishing in and above the thermalcline.  This time of the year can be awesome if you get on them.

Brian is right Jeff.....they will probably be roaming around out deeper and usually around bait. They are much more mobile than the lakers or browns and sometimes there are young kings mixed in with them or near them and they will also often locate in the top layer of water out deep within 60 ft or so of the surface. You may want to troll a bit faster than usual too but with the usual stuff and some lines back a ways.

To bad the forecast doesn't look like it will allow for any offshore fishing anytime soon
