The Wilson went all the way to flood stage on Tuesday and is still high and off color as of this writing. It is dropping fast, however, and may be fishable as early as Thursday. After such a long stretch of low water I’m cautiously expecting the fishing to be good as it comes back into shape. The Wilson River has a wild broodstock hatchery run, meaning the hatchery steelhead here are from wild origin. As such they mimic the wild run timing, which peaks now through March. This will be one on the best bets for hatchery winter steelhead for the remainder of the season.
