Striper can be targeted but are spread throughout the system. If in a boat move around to find the them. If from shore cast into deep holes. For striper throw swimbaits, Black worms, jerk baits and A-Rigs. Steelhead are also an option throwing Little Cleos and egg imitations. Fly anglers should use egg imitations and nymphs such as PT's, birdsnests and Hares Ear. Look for the deeper tail outs at the end of a fast riffle. **Salmon season is CLOSED.**
