Pescadero Creek (San Mateo County) seems to be better than in recent years for wild steelhead. Yesterday's results were two two steelhead; one 20-22 inch steelhead in the first few minutes and one about 24-25 inches about 1/2 hour later. Some smolts also caught. Also one nice fish unbuttoned.

Effective lure was Thunderbolt in gold or speckled perch.

Other guys seemed to be doing ok too. Action was several hundred yards from ocean, where rains caused a break in the sandbar. Fish looked very fresh.

Strictly barbless catch and release here, and I believe only Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday fishing allowed during the open season.

A few miles north at San Gregorio Creek only smolts were caught.

These San Mateo County creek fish are not as big as steelhead elsewhere, but still fun.
