I have not heard of any steelhead being caught off of either Des Moines or Redondo piers. Don't overlook the pier at Dash Pt. either. The fish that are usually caught are kings or silvers.

Since you live in Auburn, the closest river to you will be the Green. Check and know your regs first for the Green!

The Green has fish in it now but you cannot fish it till Oct. 16th near Hwy 18. The Green opens at the mouth Sept 1st. The regs for the Green are geographically, lure, and date restrictive. frown

Make sure you know where you are on the river and what date it is before you drop a line.
