April 17 to April 20, many small steelhead around 14 to 18 inches were jumping, some dark, some silver. Over two half days and two full days, small white minnow jig patterns got me a few of them. I got two very big males on very small 1/64 ounce size #8 jigs. Only one fat brown hit one of my usual bright UV bead colors. Very pale, dull pink or pale yellowish white hooked a few steelhead and brown trout for me and other people.
Small white minnow pattern jigs fished under a bobber hooked the most steelhead over on the trip.
The second to last day I got one very big male on a 1/64 ounce #8 White Mop Worm Jig. The last day I was one for two on a very small black stone fly jig. I briefly hooked other decent fish on small white jigs or pale 8mm beads.
