Today was a classic "should have been here yesterday," kind of days.  Yesterday fishing was strong both in the morning and evening right off the pier heads.  With high hopes we finished a mere 2 for 4 today with two real nice steelhead.  The strong winds rolled in some really cold water close to shore and the baitfish fled for the river water.  The fish are gorging themselves, which actually makes them hard to catch most of the day, with only small windows of good biting periods.  I suspect the fish are close by, just digesting, but the times we fished, it was an off period.

Looking to time it right the next few days while the water remains cold.

All bites were on Northport Nailer spoons.  One each on Dark Monkey puke (22) on the 3 color, Mashed bannana on the 7 color, Lemonfire glow (76) off the 11 color and Black ice on the rigger.  Water clarity outside the muddy water is incredible.  I could easily see the rigger ball 25' down.
