There are spawning steelhead here and there but the drop-back hens have been making our days.  Look for the drop-backs anywhere from gravel pockets to the deep and dark holes.  The bug action seems well ahead of schedule but that is probably expected with this very warm spring.

A neat shot of a drop-back from a few days ago.
