River has been steady with drop-back and actively spawning Steelhead. The "bar" is a slow pick for "forkies" (Lakers). The water is cold, and there are bazillions of smelt there. The fish are gorged with multiple year classes. Olcott/Wilson can be good if you are not stuck with ultra-clear water on the shoreline. There is very little run-off. With the amount of smelt around the west end, we will soon have a Salmon explosion.
