I am hoping to fish for Steelhead in the Carbon Monday and Tuesday. Is there any advice on colors, corkies and yarn, fast (head) or slower water (tail out), spinners vs. natural color Humpy eggs, or any thing else for me?
I have caught a Steelhead here in Oct. but I wasn’t fishing for them. It was an accidental catch.
Opinions are welcome.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

RE:Fishing the Carbon
When I was younger I fished the Carbon and Puyallup. I liked to fish for steelhead just below the confluence of the Carbon and Puyallup just above the McMillan Bridge. Nothing like fresh eggs but I often caught fish using a peach colored corkie and green yarn, Good luckToni wrote:I am hoping to fish for Steelhead in the Carbon Monday and Tuesday.

I like pink and orange colors, Spin N Glos, Pink Worms, Eggs, Spoons.
When fishing for Steelhead, compared to Salmon you are usually fishing for less fish in the river, but they are more aggresive... Try to cover more water... I also like the area Stampie is talking about, although I have not caught a steelie there (yet). You can either park down by the McMillan bridge and walk up, or better yet park by the bridge going over the little Puyallup, walk underneath and its about 200 yards to the confluence. I did good fishing the hole where the rivers meet for Pinks this year. Good Luck!

RE:Fishing the Carbon
I would say that the carbon is a pretty safe bet for steelhead. In the latest F&H news they have a pretty decent sized article on the carbon and its steelhead fishing.It pretty much says that january until the river closes is the best bet, Durring high water the fish are close to shore and to drift eggs or increase the size of your corkie, durring low water use bobber and jig, bobber and pink worm or drift eggs. Acces point: From hiqhway 162 in orting follow Calistoga St. E follow the road to it ends and there is acces to 300 yards of river. It also says in another article jigs or bait under a bobber, drift fishing eggs or pulling plugs in a boat.It also gives a contact number Todd Rock of Auburn sports and marine (253) 833 - 1440
