Salmon that are still around will pretty much be zombies. Browns will be looking for gravel, but I have never had the luck of finding them in any consistent spot in the River or tribs. Steel will be present and feeding, sometimes on eggs, sometimes on nymphs, sometimes on color. November is basically "you pays your ticket and takes your chances," watch water levels and temperatures, if you can find salmon still spawning, it is always a good chance below them. If you are flyfishing and don't mind releasing your fish (which, other than one per day for steel, or max three browns (2 if you keep 1 steel), but I've never seen anyone get three browns in a day on the SR,you have to do anyway) there are almost always a few players in the LFZ. Be prepared for all kind of crazy weather, I've been wearing a mad bomber and my hood in a snow storm one day and fishing in shirtsleeves the next. If it is cold, some of the deeper places up or down from gravel where you found fish in April should hold fish.
