Tis the Season for winter steelhead fishing

Only a short 45 minute drive from McCall, one can head down to Riggins Idaho for some fantastic winter steelhead fishing. On weekends, the banks of the Little Salmon River can be elbow to elbow with people trying to catch the big one. Winter steelhead fishing can be a hit or miss experience depending on the day. The fish are typically found in the slower currents and deeper areas of the Salmon River and depending on the day the water can be cloudy or clear with an average temperature around 40 degrees. It is a thrilling experience to pull up a 30-34" steelhead and a good reason why it draws quite the crowd during the winter months.
