What can be said about this system except WOW...home to the federal hatchery "Robertson Creek".  This system boasts seasonal runs of Summer  and Winter Run Steelhead. Although the numbers of fish in the system in 2007 were low there was still an exciting fishery to be had.  Beginning in August ,Chinook, Coho and Steelhead venture into the many areas of this system  that allow anglers access a retention fishery usually...do check regs...
There are limited numbers of Trout within the system except during the Spring and early Summer ,mostly available in the upper River . Great Central Lake provided the main Water Flow for this River and in so doing provides some exceptional Cutthroat Fishing in the early Spring and even in the late Fall after the Salmon have basically completed their life cycle.
This system has a very healthy Caddis Population and some fairly large Stone Flies,couple that with a good supply of Fresh Water Crayfish and you have the making of a very healthy fishery. Unfortunately, the essense of quiet time during your fishing experiences are often disrupted by noisy Jet Boats ...however, this fishery itself is something else and produces many large fish for your photo collection or fridge

There are certainly Fresh Winter Run Steelhead in the Lower System , with any amount of rain within the next week or so should produce even more fish.All the flies below will add to your success . Bright coloured Bunny Leeches and Intruder patterns are a sure bet in any unbothered waters,Once these fish see gear they will hunker down and the need to get your presentation in front of them is necessary for hook-ups..  In this picture you see a nice 10lb. Clipped/hatchery Steelhead landed on a tube fly.
