    Gully Washer, deluge, cats and dogs,

    It’s raining pretty hard, and despite the fact that a whole
    lot of steelhead are still coming up the rivers I am declaring winter steelhead
    season officially over. It’s now
    almost spring Chinook, soon to be summer run steelhead season, which is the
    time of year you float down the river and catch, well, whatever eats your fly.

    The return of spring steelhead this year was great in a quite, like it used to be way,
    the lower rivers had a real feeling of being alive with fish.

  • Catching steelhead

    Posted on March 25, 2009 by Jim

    This picture is sort of a scenic, that is it’s not a grip
    and grin. Yes the guy in Caleb’s
    boat has a steelhead on, and it’s big and chromie, I have a bunch of sweet grip
    and grins from this week that I will save for later. We should have
    a real good week from here on out if the nets don’t hit them too hard. There
    should be some big bucks following all the giant hen’s we got …

    better today I walked out to the truck at 5 o’clock and stopped and checked to
    see if I was wearing pants, for real, I thought I forgot my pants, I am getting
    tired.

    Here is a leftover …

  • Lots of people, some steelhead

    Posted on March 7, 2009 by Jim

    Hola,

    Man, there are a lot of people fishing for steelhead around
    here, I would say its safe to say there are a lot more people fishing the
    rivers right now than there are steelhead in them, that said, for the most part
    we are landing some nice fish every day.

    Here is Brian with a nice …

    Higher water, rain, crowds, fish

    Nice bright steelhead

    Well, as you can see, this fish report is going to be
    lame. Despite having the day off
    for high water today I did not manage to write an inspired report.
