Ringold Steelhead
An estimated 396 steelhead have been caught during March (through March 22). Of these, 278 have been retained. Boat anglers are averaging 1 steelhead for every 4.4 hours of fishing. Bank anglers are just behind at 1 steelhead per 5 pole hours.

This fishery is open for bank and boat angling through March 31, but is restricted to "bank fishing only" from April 1 through April 15 to reduce impacts to ESA listed spring chinook. The boundary area for the bank fishery is from the WDFW marker ¼ mile downstream of the Ringold irrigation wasteway outlet to the marker ½ mile upstream of Spring Creek
