Stealies and browns

[Captsmate]

So after all the anglers are done there assault on the kings on salmon river ..what is a good time to head up for stealies and browns that follow..are they there all winter?

[just me]

i was watching them in the pool today someone caught 2 nice browns

steelhead will be in the river all winter.....colder it gets the more finess it takes to catch em

browns will be in and out thru the winter

[Captsmate]

Thanks for the replies..so would it be safe to say the closer to the lake the better the chances of catching..?

[SmellsLikeFishNH]

Not necessarily....I tend to see more people in the winter up towards the hatchery and further away from the lake. 

[bottom-feeder]

all depends on weather and waterflow

I fish mostly the top of the river....altmar to pineville

but will drift down to 2A if the bite is better mid river

[Captsmate]

Thanks i will use that advice..

Browns are not a very common find in the SR, and they are there mainly in fall.  Chrome all winter, down low if you can afford it from now until the water gets cold, then upriver all winter as others have said.  If you really want browns, Oak Orchard, or the Oz used to be very good, haven't really checked it in a few years.
