Took the day off today, and since it had warmed up with no snow or ice on the roads, decided to see if any steelhead could be found in the Touchet. Stopped between Waitburg and Dayton where Tom and I went the day after Thanksgiving. Water was up a bit with a little color. Found a few small trout, but no steel. Next up to Dayton to fish in town. The high water at the beginning of this month made some changes here. The nice hole right above the highway bridge was pretty much filled in and just a fast shot of water. Found a few more little guys, nothing big. The higher water turns this stream into a straight shot of fast water, channeled as it is between dikes. On the way home, made a final stop at the park in Waitsburg to check out a little run I had found there earlier in the year. Again, a couple small guys, but nothing big. All but one on the bead, the other on the black stone. No steelhead, but can't ever complain if you are finding fish.
