There were a ton of smolt in middle Elk yesterday, but there were still a few steelies around. If you are looking for a 50 fish day, I would say it is not worth the trip, but if you like to walk the streams and put a few steelies on the bank, then it might be worth a trip. One other thing, the water is still very cold and the fish are a bit more sluggish now than in the fall. The spectacular runs and jumps are rare with the spring steelies.
Good luck.
