Got to blue creek area trout hatchery around 7. Fished a couple spots between the trout hatchery and blue creek with not a bite.
Tried spinners, drifting corkies. One guy on a boat caught a steelhead and we overheard him saying he caught a big fish yesterday about 25lbs. He also said the river has been getting better for steelhead day by day the last week. Wasn't for me tho.
Headed down to barrier dam around 10. Water was SUPER high (as it was near blue creek), tried drifting large corkies, also tried floating a jig. No one in this area seemed to have a single hit. Although when I went up to the fishing boundary marker right below the dam I did see a couple risers but that's it..

Getting very discouraged as I've gone steelheading/salmon fishing about 10 times now and I got skunked every time ??.
Hopefully when the run picks up and the springers come I'll have better luck!
