An estimated 139 steelhead were caught this week. Novembers' catch to date is above last years for the entire month and may be larger than 2004. Boat and bank anglers continue to pick up an occasional chinook. The number of boats in the Ringold area has declined with the closure of the salmon season above the wooden powerline towers whereas the bank fishery continues to be popular. For the week of Nov 6-12, bank anglers averaged 1 steelhead for every 6 hours fished. Boat anglers averaged 1 steelhead for every 14 hours fished. As of November 1, all hatchery steelhead (adipose clipped) may be retained.
