Good luck out there

Flymstr;

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.

Just have to wait it out. I will try, but I don’t know how successful I will be. Here is an old pic I was reminded of today.

Good luck out there.

Water is up and the fish are on the move!

Hit the river today at the crack of dawn, and it was slow. I fished with Rich (Damon’s Dad) today until about 10:30, and then the rain drove us out. Back at the truck however, my buddy Don was walking up with a real nice little Steelie, and added that he had lost another one. I contemplated for about 10 minutes whether to go back, or pack it in. I decided to drive to an area that I could get cell phone reception, and call Steve. Luck had it that Steve was done working or the day, and was on his way up. I headed back to river to wait for his arrival. As I got re-geared up again, I thought to myself “This is stupid, it’s raining and cold, and you did not see any fish earlier”. What the heck was I doing here again. Well the answer was soon clear upon the first couple casts. Steve was hooked up 3 times in a matter of minutes. I took me about 20 minutes to get it together, and then decide I wanted to do this again. I was then able to hook, and land, two beautiful Steelies in about 10 minutes. Steve headed down stream a bit, and hit into two more chromers, that some how eluded his hook set. So I am very pleased with the decision to go back, but it was so wet and cold. I would do again in a second.

God luck out there.

Well I broke down and bought new computer. So I am on my way to Vegas for a week, and then the Steelhead season starts up. Hopefully it will be as good or better than last year. Here are some pics from a chum run last week. Not a great day, but fun anyway.

Good luck out there.

Well it has been a bit since I updated last, but the fishing was good in between. I have not been out as much as I would like to, but the trips I have taken have been successful. Steve and I got into over 100 fish one day alone. We landed around fifty fish that day, and wore out our arms in the process. Kings and Silvers were on the menu, as Steve and I devoured the river full of fish. The Silver Salmon were more abundant, but with over ten large Chinook caught, and over 30 hooked, it was not to bad. Steve landed his first 3 real big Kings this day, and they were all dandy’s. Throughout the day, we only really saw about 5 darker fish, the rest were chrome bright. Here are some great pics from two days worth of destruction. Hope you enjoy.

Good luck out there

I know it has been awhile, and I am working on it. My computer took a dump, and I am in the process of getting it fixed. Probably early next week, and I will be back up and going with the pics. I have been fishing though. Steve and I, went to the coast a couple of times now, and we did very well. No Steelhead yet, but over a hundred Silvers and Kings in a two day extravaganza. The pics are great, and I can’t wait to get them up here. Steve got about a50 pounder, and I also got one real big one, I think around 60 but no pic. We had a great time, and we are heading back for chum’s early next week. Hope to get the pics to you as soon as possible, just know that I have not gone away, just working on getting everything fixed.

Good luck out there

Well we have not seen any rain this month, and the water is very low on the Situk and all other rivers in the area. The fishing has been good in the early morning and late afternoon, but during the sunny afternoons, it has been a bit tough. I have had a lot of trips down the river, and have many good photo’s to share. As you all know, my internet connection this season has been tough to deal with, so the posts have been far and few between. I apologize for this, and will try to rectify for next season. I will be home in Oregon on the 3rd of October, and then the posts will pick up again. I almost cut off my finger 3 days ago, and ten stitches later, I am put back together, but it hurts pretty bad still, stitches come out in 7 days. Here are some great pics and good underwater film of the Silvers from the Situk.

Good luck out there.
