The Wilson is a little low and clear, but still fishable and should be throughout the week. There are still a few bright hatchery fish coming in although fishing is slowing down. 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 and there will still be bright hatchery steelhead available well into April. This is still one on the best bets for hatchery winter steelhead for the remainder of the season.
