Re: Summer/spring run steelies?
Actually summer run steelhead can be in the rivers as early as may. There is no official start point. Last year we were running the Sol Duc and hooked into a few summer run and we were there fishing springers the first week of May. There are some rivers that the steelhead are in dang near year around. I've caught winter kelts and summmer run fish in the same day.

Re: Summer/spring run steelies?
Yea well i dont think he wants to know when u can catch spawned out summer runs in the winter that are on their way out. I catch tons of dark summer runs in december and january because they wait to spawn till winter. The new, fresh fish however start to be caught in may when springer fishing and really start to show up and be targeted by fishermen in june-july-august.
