I imagine a lot of fish got pushed down into the lower river in the high water

Say what? Very unlikely a steelhead at this time of year would be 'pushed' downstream.  Or perhaps you're looking for fewer anglers in the upper river  ;)

Tried upper this morning, then lower at a couple spots around midday. Nothing hooked, nothing seen, nothing doing. The weather was pleasant and warm though and we enjoyed the sun for a few minutes :D

May be the only hatchery left from mid river and below LOL, nice fish.
Fished mid river also for five hours, not a sniff. River is in great shape.
