Low clear water can make fishing for summer steelhead challenging, but there can be some good action. Drift fishing, spinners, and flies are good choices. Light line, small presentations, and fishing the riffles and deep pools at first and last light can increase success.<\/p>\n<p><span><span lang=\"EN\" xml:lang=\"EN\">There are still a few spring Chinook available in the Wilson River, although numbers will be low. Bobber and eggs or sand shrimp, drift fishing, back bouncing, and divers and bait are all good techniques for springers; these fish can be finicky, but are worth the effort!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Book your Tillamook Guided Fishing Trip<\/h3>\n<p>Call, Text or Email anytime to check availability, \u00a0text or call for the fastest response. \u00a0 \u00a0503.858.2699<\/p>\n<p><span>We offer full days of fishing for $225 per person.
