Spent the morning drifting bobbers with pink shrimp and yarn in various spots and depths around the mouth of the Tucannon. No action all morning except for about a 30 minute period when the sun came out and the wind went still, then it was on. Biggest fish of the day caught by my daughter in law, her first steelhead, a ~17lb. wild buck, which was safely released. Then we picked up some clipped ones for the smoker. Water temp was down to lowest we've seen it at 38*. We changed from store bought to tying our own snells with trokar hooks and have lost a lot fewer fish lately.
