Not much to report as nothing happened for me!!!
Fished Bergman and the wind was just insane...could not drift properly.
Ended up at the canal with nothing to show either. I spoke to a few guys and nada....
The water was a murky green with maybe a foot of visibility close to shore.
I threw roe, shrimp, roe bag and you name it....

Went out around 12:30 after coffee, Lew stopping by while I was having my coffee to report on his fish he landed mid morning so that got me going. ;D
I found conditions improved throughout the afternoon to at least 2 feet or more by 5 o'clock. It certainly was a very pleasant afternoon again, especially when the wind died down.
I heard of 5 fish taken and I had a chance too but the fish was on only briefly as it got off as it swirled to the top when I set the hook and got rid of the hook. On the next cast it took the float down again (unless another fish) but I missed it completely but was not offered another opportunity.
Not a lot of pressure in the area I was in.

Arrived upper river around 1:00 pm. Had a chat with an old friend for a while. Then started fishing. 10 minutes later, landed my first hatchery this year. Decided to let it go because I didn't want to spend 3 hrs on driving but only 10 mins on fishing :'( That's the pain of living in Richmond.
Anyway, continued after this. Had another fish on for about 5 mins. That was a big fight but lost it near shore.
Fished until dark without any more success.
This is my 2nd year of steelhead fishing. Last season, I totally had 6 fish on and landed 5. This year, so far I had 8 fish on hook but only landed 3...But that's ok, even one fish can keep me excited for a month...
