Steelhead fishing was good on the Wilson last weekend and pressure was surprisingly light. It’s getting another bump on Thursday according to the predictions, and should be in decent shape (maybe a little on the low side) by the weekend.

There are hatchery and wild steelhead (catch-and-release only for wilds) throughout the fishery, and fresh hatchery fish still coming in. The hatchery run on the Wilson last through early April. The Wilson has some popular drift boat runs and a lot of bank access off of Highway 6.
