I got one buzzer-beater steelhead on Dec 27th on the Deschutes. Had probably 5-6 trips fishing just steel. Botched a few grabs and finally stuck that one with about 30 minutes of light left. Deschutes steelhead are considered summer-run going from August till end of the year. Very few fresh fish come in late December but they do come in. Good thing about Oregon is when the summer run ends then winter steelheading starts up on the coastal rivers!
