ill send ya a PM bout good spots along it..............
You might try the Russian River. I think I saw a post that you're located in Marin, so this would be the closest river with steelhead. I read posts that the river is starting to clear up, but flows are up around 1,500 cfs; 1,200 cfs is reported to be an ideal level to allow fishing. There are a few public access locations: Steelhead Beach and the Wohler Bridge. I think parking costs $5. Go to flies include: glo-balls, comets, and bosses. I carry these flies, as well as few different colors of buggers, clouser minnows, various stone flies, and some estaz eggs. With the flows up you are going to need a sink-tip line.
