Late December Steelhead

Had a half day trip on the Salmon River this afternoo as the water was dropping to 500cfs and hit a pretty good bite. The weather has been crazy up here lately with the temps all over the place and some flooding last week. The temps look to be mild for the weekend but next week it looks like its going to dip back down to the teens and single digits. Here are some pix from today and a previous trip last week...

December 10-11 Salmon River Steelhead

We struggled a little bit these two days with extremely cold temps and a tough bite. Still caught a few really nice chromers, some of which we didn't get pix of. We were supposed to fish the 12th as well but we decided to cancel due to an even colder forecast!

Friday December 6th Steelies

Ive had some time off this past week and weekend due to cancellations, reschedulings, and weather but we did make it out on thursday and Friday. I fished with a couple of friends on thursday for a few hours and hit a nice afternoon bite. I didn't take any pix except the one with my new dog, new best friend and fishing buddy Jake! We also did well on friday in the Salmon River with plenty of hookups and some nice fish to the net.

Late November Steelhead, Browns and Rainbows

Its been the same story, the conditions are controlling our destiny on a day to day basis. There have been some extremely cold days this past week that have made fishing super tough. We did have a nice day on Sunday and as a result we had a really good bite from mid morning on.
