Rain dance time!!! Rain rain rain!!!

New to this thread but not to the steelhead game. Have a camp on route 5 on steelhead alley and frequent the streams regularly this time of year. Hurricane sandy brought great results for me as I came up the weekend after the storm hit. Plenty of hookups all across elk and if you weren't catching the fault yours. Returned to camp Friday the 16th and fished elk from the sewage plant down to the access all day Saturday. There were fish to be caught but the issue was finding a decent hole that still held water. These holes were elbow to elbow with clear visibility and spooked fish. The streams are very low and caused us to drink more beer Saturday night without much hope for Sunday morning. Many people had luck at the legion hole as it still provided adequate depth. I found the stretch of elk up by the sewage plant to have the best characteristics in these dry conditions but the fish were few and far between. Prob 30 anglers fishing a 300 yard stretch with only myself and a fly fisherman even getting as much as a bite. He hooked a fish and I brought in a very nice chrome steely on a spinner. Headed back down towards the access in hopes of finding more fish but ultimately found many of the popular spots along the bottom of elk(railroad tressel, waterfall by uncle johns) holding very little water. Barely recognized the railroad tressel..we need rain and we need it soon. With all of this bring said I will be returning for this thanksgiving weekend regardless as any day ur holding a rod is a good one...seeing a slight chance of rain tues/weds and a chance if rain/snow Friday and Saturday, holding out hope that the water rises and I get a decent day.

not helpful like most of your posts

As said before, even a cave man can catch fish when the water is up and green.  Take the time to learn how to catch these fish in pressured conditions with clear/low flow.  Then you can drink beer and laugh at posts like these some day.

I think what people are trying to tell you is that this forum is completely useless if your intention is to come here and share useful info with your fellow fishermen.   The people who purposefully misspell words and try to confuse threads are the same pieces of human excrement that make off-color jokes about a 2 year old boy getting mauled to death at the Pittsburgh Zoo.
 
But hey, I suppose all is fair as long as these dickheads catch their fish.   

topdawg is the mastr.
bow to him and submitt.

Gets tough to floss fish when the creeks are high...WF

I'm convinced I only catch the suicidal fish. I dont even think the dumb ones take my offering.
