Steelhead advice requested

[Darth Wader]

Planning to get out of the snow in Redmond, OR tomorrow or Tues for 3-4 days chasing steelies. I'm thinking Siletz, but have the time to hit just about anywhere on the coast. Any suggestions on where to try are appreciated. Thank You,
Mark

Mark -- I dunno about anything on the coast, but your moniker is THE BEST!!!

You might keep an eye on the weather. If we get some warm rain and the freezing level goes up there might be a lot of water, like flooding.

If that happens the smaller rivers will drop into shape sooner. Also, the Clackamas and Sandy might stay in better shape if the snow level doesn't go over 3,000.

Right now it sounds like all the coastal rivers should be putting out fish just fine at the usual haunts. Remember the basics (low/low, high/high), stick with techniques and water types you know will produce and watch the tail end of your rig (as in fishtailing) out there. Given the weather situation, I'd recommend rescheduling if you can. If you can't, at least you can count on the usual fishing pressure being off because of the weather.

well if your looking to get out of the snow good luck you might want to look in to a trip to mexico for no snow all fun aside watch the river levels if it does warm up the rivers will be on the rise but watch the freezeing levels also as long as the stay some what low the rivers should not rise like they say good luck
