Travis,
Are you planning on camping out at the Park there? I'm also considering taking my boat and camping out there so that I can fish all day.

Oh I'll be fishing ! I don't know if it'll be the 31st or not. My neighbor and I plan to try and hit the steelhead at Wawawai. This fall as well.

Any tips I have never fished for steelhead before. I hear shrimp and jigs is the way to go. Could you recommend pole size or line strength to see if I'm already setup?

i use a 7 med heavy action pole with 15 lb test its pline flurocarbon during the day i use bucktail jigs with pink dyed sand shrimp and shrimp oil and also size 4 blue foxes copper on cloudy days and silver on bright days and i use flashing crank baits and monday ill be trying some jigs that i put glow in the dark paint on and go in the dark paint on blue fox too

[Proverb]

Can't wait for the report. Thanks for all the tips. I'll try to get out there soon myself.
