Springer fishing

Springer fishing is now, and soon maybe some very interesting steelhead fishing. Spring Chinook fishing here on the peninsula will peak between the second week of May and the first week of June.  By the third week of  May there … read more »

Trout fishing, Aww hell no!

Nice trout.
Proof that size is relative.
For the last six or eight weeks I have been trying not to put any fish up on this fly fishing blog unless they were better than 12 pounds and chrome bright. The other day we caught this cutthroat trout and it occurred to me that even though it was a fish to be measured in inches rather than pounds, it was a pretty cool critter.
In the last four fly fishing trips we have landed only two bright native steelhead, and no summer run hatchery steelhead yet.

feakin giant rooster from the beach season

Um,
Why aren’t we doing this?
This is Lance, our host while we were down in Baja, pictured here with a nice rooster he got from the beach today. He lost two larger ones. The feakin giant rooster from the beach season is just cranking up, I want to go.
Here we are waiting for a bit of rain, or some snowmelt, anything to bring the rivers up a foot…

Spring Chinook are here

Here are some springers exactly like the ones we didn’t catch today. Had my fist day springer fishing today, and although we found some springers and got some bites, we failed conclusively to land any. We also found a few steelhead and did get one of those to the net. I will be steelhead fishing tomorrow and then back to the springers on sunday.

I want to go springer fishing right now! I have Thursday and Friday open, anyone
want to go gear fishing for springers?
Give me a call, I really want to go and if you let me fish a little I
would do it for SUPER cheap.

Oh Yea,
steelhead fishing was slow yesterday…just a hand full of rebrights and maybe a
dozen freakin jacks. I have never
seen so many jack steelhead. We
will keep finding fresh winter steelhead for the next few weeks but it will be …

Lost and found

First,

Thank you everyone for coming out this winter, yes, this
week you will get all the pictures I did not send, we will work on booking all
the dates we talked about and you will probably receive a news letter.

Did you lose this on the upper Bogie? Its kind of embarrassing that it could be hard to catch a fish that would eat something like this.

Yep, the fishing is still good, the weather is nice, and
there is no one here. Yesterday we
landed 5 nice steelhead and saw 2 boats.

If …
