Summer Steelhead Trips
Pound for pound, the hardest-fighting fish in the river
Summer steelhead are widely considered the hardest-fighting fish on the river — long runs, aerial jumps, and a fight that doesn't let up.
The season runs mid-May through July, giving you more flexibility than Spring Chinook to find a date. Light tackle, active fishing, always a good time.
