Still getting a few a day.

Now that the water is back shape, we can get down to business. The flood left the rivers I fish in a shambles. The rocks, trees, and even what seems to be the river itself has moved into a new position. This season is going to be a learning experience I can tell. All the rocks and structure I have gotten to know over the last 30 some years, have moved and some are gone completely. It slightly baffles the mind to think of the force it took to move some of those massive boulders and trees around. There are rocks that I have stood on for my whole life, that are now no where in site. Guess it’s about time to learn it all over again. I fished every day from the flood on, and no fish for me until the last couple of days. I have spent some time with my two friends out on the water, and between the 3 of us, we have managed to hook up with 28 fish, and land only 5. The water is still moving good, and the fish are feisty right now. Here are some pics from the last couple trip out from the three of us.

Good luck out there.

Check out this video.

As we are all aware of here in the area, there was some major flooding the last couple of days. Well I went out today to see my favorite creek, and to witness the destruction. I will try to explane it the best I can for those that know this area. The top slot had two trees that had recently fallen across the river, “They are gone and no where in site”. We had a big cedar tree come down last year, and it is also gone down river. The cedar tree had caused the water to run around the outside of what we call the “Log hole”. Well that is not the case now, with the cedar tree now jammed in below the log hole and above the birthday hole, the water is now running on the inside again and the log hole should be back to somewhat normal flows. With the cedar tree now below the log hole, this will make it a challenge to land any big boys that run on down. Now the big log that was across the river at the top of the log hole, “The log that created the log hole” is gone down river a half mile and has dug in just above the table top hole. It is about three feet out of the water and is not in the way at all. Good place for this log to end up. So from what I saw today, without being able see the bottom at all. I would say that this may have cleaned up the creek for the best as of now. Hope it all turns out as good as it looks. I went to the hatchery and the doors are now open, so the fish are going to go on in and the count now begins. Let’s all cross our fingers and pray the fish don’t all run up and in in the next three days like they did 4 years ago.

Good luck out there

I have been fortunate enough to find some fish out there the last couple of days. Water levels are low clear right now, making it hard to find a biter. I have been getting some in the hard white water in the streams I have been able to effectively fish. The season should start to kick off soon. My favorite creek still has the doors closed, as there is no fish up there yet to bring in. We are expecting rain over the next week or so, and this should be what we need to get things rolling. Here are some pics from the last two trips out.

Good luck out there.

Well I have been slow at this so far this year, but the fishing has also been slow so far, due to cold water. The fish are showing up in small spurts, and I have been able to get into some now and then. I have been focusing more on the coastal streams so far, waiting for my creek here to start producing large amounts of daily catches. Here are some pics from the last 2 weeks out. My percentage for the year is low. I have a total of 19 for 40 this winter. Hope I can pick that up a bit in the coming weeks.

Good luck out there.
