It looks like the PM River is starting to get a fresh batch of steelhead.  We found decent numbers of fish yesterday.  More importantly they were in places that didn’t have steelhead the day before and they were new, fresher looking fish.

We were always throwing a two fly, egg nymph/streamer combination but everything came on a peach colored bunny hex.

One of four steelhead from yesterday, they all wanted the Bunny Hex.
