Steelhead fishing on the upper Grays River has started as of the 15th of December. There were lots of anglers on the water with most of the holes being taken at first light. Fishing was productive but not hot on the 15th. I saw about a dozen fish hooked up and caught by 12:00 when the hail and heavy rains started in. This was a scouting fishing trip and I decided to load up the girlfriend and head back into town for some Christmas Shopping instead of having her out there freezing to death. I did manage to put the hooks into a nice 8 lb fish throwing a green hot shot in a nice long run. Most anglers were casting float and jigs. The water was dark with a good shot of silt and a green / brown color. I figured throwing a reaction lure would work and it did. The fish was in front of a rock and hit about 10 feet from the rod tip as the plug swam past the rock.
