The North Fork has a lot of shoulders and banks along the shoreline. Drift boat fishing, spinners, and surface jigs work here. Steelhead with hit on plastic worms worked through the current and are often caught on a simpler worm and bobber rig in slower moving sections of water.

This is not a wide river and diminishes late in the summer. Smaller lures work well here and on sunny days darker lures often catch more steelhead than bright shiny spinners and spoons.

Steelhead will hit on streamers, and dry flies at different times through the year.
