A pair of small, rain-driven coastal steelhead rivers north of the Russian — the longer winter steelhead option once you're willing to drive past Sonoma's flagship water. These are short, flashy systems that only fish for a brief window after each storm: enough rain to open the mouth and pull fish in, then a fast drop into fishable green. Watch closures and weather first — there's no reliable season here, only reliable windows after rain. CDFW low-flow rules decide whether you can fish at all. These are steelhead and salmon waters managed by CDFW under strict, frequently-changing seasonal rules — salmon retention is often prohibited and catch-and-release is widely required; check current CDFW regulations before fishing.
