Steelhead
Targeting steelhead near Long Beach, Washington, means understanding the dynamic interplay between the Columbia River estuary and the Pacific Ocean. This area offers a unique opportunity to intercept steelhead as they transition between saltwater and freshwater. Fall and winter are prime times, coinciding with the return of hatchery and wild runs. Focus your efforts where the freshwater outflow meets the saltwater, particularly during periods of moderate rainfall. These conditions often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, steelhead. For bank access, explore the areas around the mouth of the Columbia, remembering that beach access can be affected by tides. A local tip: pay close attention to water clarity. Steelhead in this region can be notoriously line-shy in clear water, so opt for fluorocarbon leaders and downsize your presentations accordingly. The fish here are known for their aggressive takes, so be ready for a fight!
