Hit up a new spot today that I have lived near but never made it to. Well I made it there this morning, and it paid off in a big way. The rivers are low and clear due to a lack of rain, and thus there is no pressure on the rivers at this time. We had miles of beautiful rive to ourselves today, and it was great. At one point I had 5 fresh winters pull up right in front of me in nice little white water riffle. I was so stunned I could not get a correct presentation, and the fish promptly left the area. At the end of the day, we had hooked up with 16 fish between 3 of us. I lost all 9 fish I got into, Tom landed 2, lost 1, and Ian hit into 4 and lost em’ all. He did land one old silver, and I talked one old summer to the bank. Here are the pics.

Good luck out there.

Hit up the coast waters again today and it went fairly well. We were able to get into 4 fish, and land 2, one native and one hatch Steel. The numbers of fish seem to be lower today than yesterday, but the bite was better for us. Tom and I had Ian (Arctic) along for the ride. Ian was the one that got three of the fish on and two to the boat. I did not fish much, but was able to get a hook up on a little pink jig. All in all it was a great day on the water with good friends. Thanks for going along Ian.

Good luck out there.

Hit up the Nestucca again today. Got one and missed a few others. No good pics because we were on fish when I got this one and just forgot. Going again tomorrow, hope to have some great pics from then. Also a Summer I got on the creek the other day.

Good luck out there.

Well after several uneventful Salmon trips, the Steelhead have finally showed up. Today we kicked butt. I got it started with a nice Coho in the first ten minutes, and then a bit of a lull, then it was game on. I started out with a nice chrome native, still sporting  her fresh sea lice. Then Anton hit into two chrome cookie cutters. At this time Tommy had no bites and had taken a good ribbing from the Anton and I. Then out of nowhere, Tommy lit it up, with two back to back 10 Lb’ers. Total for the day was 5 Steelhead and one Coho. We also had a cow swim past the boat. Heading up river to graze I guess?  Great day on the water, and hope to have many more soon.

Good luck out there,
