Some of those upriver Steel behind the beds over the past couple of weeks were  pretty fresh and bright. They can run up pretty quickly.

Bear- Was catching Steel behind beds and close along shoreline soft water where they tend to run up on both trips for the past two weeks now. Sometimes gotta wait out the guys standing in knee deep water on the sides trying to fish the big runs cause that knee deep is where they tend to run. Like to get out in the middle in some places and cast right to shore for my drift.
Only targeted steel part of the time and was King fishing the rest but the Steel were there. Caught some and lost some on each daily trip with only limited time specifically on Steel.  All upriver.
  That said ( love upriver) down below will be the freshest fishes and perhaps bigger numbers- watch that DSR report daily.
