Steelhead
Chasing steelhead near Garibaldi, Oregon, means tackling the renowned rivers of the Tillamook Bay watershed. The Wilson, Trask, Kilchis, and Miami Rivers offer exceptional opportunities for both hatchery and wild steelhead, each with its own unique character. Winter steelhead runs are the main draw, peaking from December through March. These fish are powerful and challenging, demanding a variety of techniques. Drift fishing with bait or artificial lures is popular, as is casting spinners and spoons in the deeper pools. Remember that some rivers may have specific gear restrictions or require barbless hooks, so check the ODFW regulations. A local's secret: focus on the lower reaches of the rivers after a period of rain, as the steelhead will move upstream with the rising water. The Tillamook Anglers offer great resources for local fishing conditions and conservation efforts.
