OCBS November 10, 2024 Steelhead Tournament Results
The 1st Leg of the OCBS “Members Only” Steelhead Tournament was held on Sunday 10 November 2024. It was a rainy day with air temperatures in the high-fifties.
Streams were at record lows with minimal flow. Water temps were in the mid-fifties with good clarity and moderate leaf hatch. Fish were staged in the harbor areas waiting for improved stream flows
A total of 33 steelhead were checked in by 19 anglers. The largest fish caught was 32 inches.
Congratulations to Ken Harper who won Leg 1 with two fish totaling 60.25 inches in length.
The 2nd Tournament Leg will take place on Sunday 24 November 2024. Be sure to save the date.
