North Coast: , by Drew Griffith: Steelhead green: 3 stars

Green water returned to the rivers of the North Coast this past weekend after the first significant rainfall of 2018. This past week saw everything from the Eel to the Smith in prime condition and fish were found in both systems for anglers willing to put in the time and effort. 

I fished with Sang on Saturday up north. We had an awesome day poking around the Smith looking for fresh steelhead. While we didn't get into any fish we did dail up some hedgehog mushrooms between swing runs. Not a bad reward for a day on the river. 

A succession of storms are making ready to hit the coast starting tonight and continuing into next week. The Smith is projected to make it's most significant rise of the season over the weekend. All rivers will see a hard rise by early next week and in all likelihood we will see many blow out. Time to hunker down behind the vice and crank out those bugs!
