Steelhead
Chasing steelhead near Everett, Washington, presents a unique opportunity to intercept these powerful fish as they transition from the saltwater of Puget Sound into the rivers of the Snohomish Basin. The Stillaguamish and Snohomish Rivers are your primary targets. Success hinges on understanding the seasonal forage – think salmon smolt in the spring and salmon eggs in the fall/winter. Water conditions are paramount; pay close attention to river levels and clarity after rainfall. Natural presentations are key; drift fishing with bait like salmon roe or sand shrimp is effective, as is casting spinners or spoons in clearer water. Adjust your depth frequently based on the water temperature and current speed. Check the WDFW website for updated regulations, and consider launching from the Langus Riverfront Park for easy access to the Snohomish.
