Fresh steelhead did move into the river after the recent rain. The number of fish in the river did come up but fishing techniques tend to change with the higher water as fish are on the move and not wanting to bite. Try bigger and brighter spoons or flies during high water. Those fishing up near Tippy Dam did manage to catch a few leftover coho.
