  • Higher water brings more steelhead

    Fishing will be better, it wasn’t so good for us today but
    it was good for the guys in front of us and good for the nets. All the rivers got a lot of color and a
    lot of water and a good shot of fresh steelhead.
    Things are in full swing.

  • John waits one out

    Catching steelhead, not catching them swinging, mostly. Liking the low water but looking
    forward to some rain. Things are a
    bit crowded, mostly by spey fishermen, especially on the lower rivers.

    I have a day off coming up on Monday, maybe I will post a
    better report.

  • 20 fish days

    Quick report is about all I have time for so here goes.

    I had really tough swing fishing the last few days, hooked a
    couple fish landed none. There are
    decent numbers of fish in the lower rivers but HUGE crowds this weekend made
    things tough. Hopefully the crowds
    will thin out here and we will have a little water to ourselves. There are definitely some bruiser
    steelhead around, if you want to get them right now you have to have a lot of patience
    or a nymph rod.

    The exact same thing as the other day only more so.

    There are steelhead in the lower ends of
    everything.

    I had Eric R. and Mark H out for a couple of days, the
    fishing wasn’t hot but the company was great, thanks for everything guys.

  • Low Water but good fishing

    The water is really low and clear and the weather is bright
    and beautiful and we still seem to manage to land a couple of nice steelhead a
    day. Fish are moving cautiously
    into the lower ends of all the rivers and not much farther. Towards the end of last week and
    through the weekend it seemed like about fifty fifty mix of hatchery versus
    native fish but I think we weeded the last batch of hatchery fish out now and
    its mostly native steelhead in the 9 to 14 pound class. The pressure is mostly …
