Do it yourself options do exist on the Klickitat
The Lowdown: again, the proximity of the Klickitat to Portland Oregon makes this a fairly easy to reach destination. The Klick also gives you a fairly high probability of hooking into a 10+ lb wild steelhead. If you have never casted a spey rod or prefer to fish from a boat, the Klickitat might be a good option to think about if you are just beginning to fish for steelhead.
