Hi guys, not much I can add to what John put in his report, just that we've been having one heck of a great time! There are very good numbers of fish in the system and on some days that's easy to prove then on others, you'd find it hard to believe...
Just about every place that should be holding fish is, but it's day to day on the bite. For example, I fished a hole I know to be holding about a dozen fish very hard with Dennis on the 16th with no results, but on the 17th Ron and I had a half a dozen great rides out of that one spot alone once they got going then proceeded to hook fish in just about every other place we stopped. That being said, the bite just last longer on some days than it does on others and I don't think I've had a day yet since last report where we didn't have at least several battles with some fall chrome over the course of the day!
Sorry about the delay in reports here lately it's just that I've been burning the candle at both ends recently with helping Johnny out deer processing in the evenings down at the M-37 Meat Shack and fishing all day. I just haven't had much time for the internet and even right now I'm trying to punch this one out before a 9am trip so I'll need to cut it short.
Fall Steelhead like eggs fellas and with the way the water has been very light leaders are needed along with some stealth to get the good hookups. We are getting a little rain right now, so hopefully we get some color out of it, but either way, it's shaping up into one heck of a fall/winter and both John and I have lots of great open dates for it! Just call the shop to book that trip and lets go have some fun... 1-877-422-5394
Here's a few shots from recent trips and a huge thanks goes out to Bill on the 12th, Ben and John on the 13th, Ron and Brian on the 14th, (Chris, I'm sorry you couldn't make it on the 15th!) Dennis on the 16th, Ron on the 17th then Bob and Dave yesterday, the 18th. (Happy birthday Bob and at least we got a good look at all of them yesterday... ;^)
Bill with a nice two foot brown!
Bill landed one about 9 pounds heavier than this earlier, but dropped it before the photo! ;^)
John caught this bright hen...
...and here's Ben with a couple that he bagged.
Here's one that didn't get away!
Dennis bagged this pretty little lady!
Ron and I had one heck of a day! Here's a couple that made it in...
Tight lines all,
Steve
