Hopefully the first day or two after the first hard rain blows the creeks out enough where some can come up stream a little, or the day of the PSA picnic.

Stream scouting trip in August, and hopefully fishin in September, October, November, December,........

Usually always the first week of September.  Maybe even last few days of August just to walk some streams, toss some spoons early in the morning.  Sometimes just a hookup is enough to remind you why you do it.  If a fish is landed it's all that more rewarding.  That early I've had 7-8 fish days, and I've had days where I didn't see a fish, didn't see signs of fish at the mouths, and didn't even smell like a fish on the ride home. 
 
If you start going that early as long as you have no expectations, and make a point of walking some streams for scouting purposes, and toss some spoons at every creek mouth if even just to stare at the lake for a few hours and enjoy fishing for steelhead in shorts and a tshirt, it's a success.

How ya been genieman?  I'll be fishing the mouths of the streams far before I set foot in them.  Therefore, as soon as I see a good run of steel into Elk, I'll be there with my Krocodile!  However, thats all in the back of my mind right now...still got more eyes to catch and Kingnuke and I have a trip out to Ontario to look forward to in a week or so. 

i do my scouting on the last swimming trip usually end of august and last year i caught a little guy on a crawler about 18 inches off the pier at walnut it was august 27 if i remember right its fun not knowing what youll catch there
