The water temperature is probably cold by now, and most fish will be taken on sink-tip lines; you've got to get down to the fish when it's cold. On the other hand, if November proves to be a mild month with a little rain but no big duck-drowners, you could have good fishing here, with plenty of steelhead and no crowds. On yet another hand, extended cold weather or heavy rains will finish off the summer-run fishing and it will be March before there's much action again. Once the rain starts, most of the summer-run fish will head up the spawning tributaries and will not be available to anglers. There can be lots of leaves and debris in the river this month, so check your fly often.

For more on November tactics and flies, see the Rivers in General report.
