'Stream Blowouts'

I was planning on going up tomorrow... but 'Sandy' has me thinkng I should change my plans.  Then I got thinking.... what do the Steelhead do when there is a blowout?
Where do they go?
Do they hang back in the lake and go on a feeding frenzy on the small stuff?
In other words... should I fish the lake mouths?
Do their hormones drive them upstream to spawn?
In other words... should I fish the streams?

    Steelhead stay along the banks in slow moving frog water and large eddies, not anywhere near the fast rolling current.

    I'd probably just stay home though.

    i think they hang out at the pig pen and drink 24-7 till the water clears up. i was on the east side yesterday evening and the creeks werel getting higher and cloudier when i left. 
    the lake was rough coming in and there was a mud line a ways out.

    anything over 400 on the walnut guage and all the fish get pushed out to the lake...
    hopefully there will be another RUN of fish... if not, season is over

    Hafalump, do you have a half a brain? Don't be stupid, stay home.

    I say go for it. 3 ounce sinker and a tandem rig with 2 intruder flies should slay 'em.

    I went down, and checked 12 mile and 7 mile. Both were roaring and a nice chocolate color. It was actually cool to see water bank to bank on both creeks.  12 mile though had a buildup at the mouth from the waves, which may cause problems when the water goes down, 7 mile would be a great raft ride right now. 12 is too short. It looks like Thursday at the earliest for any east side creek.
