Steelheading: Week#25

OK...sorry were late again...

Quick run down with no pics...Sorry...

Little rain last week left many of the spawned out fish still in the rivers with little activity from the fresh ones. Friday night was a late swinging night with Justin. We ended up going till about 9PM with Justin landing one spawned out drop back swinging. I hooked one, but dropped it after a few minutes. Amazingly, the fish (even being spawned out), became so active in the tailouts after about 8:30. We threw to several rolls, but hooked no more. Afraid of the snagging, and with few hook-ups, we left hoping for rain on Saturday...

Amy was in for a visit, so the fishing was put on hold until she left Sunday...

With a little rain in the morning sunday, and some work activities, we weren't able to fish until about 6 when I grabbed Justin and we hit a new stretch of water. The little rain did prove fruitful, as we saw and hooked a few fresh fish. Justin had the chromer of the year thus far show him how crazy these fish can be...after getting owned, we figured her to be about 10lbs or so. Several other fresh fish were seen along side the drop backs...meaning a few fish did decide to run. We fished through a tremendous down pour that was definitely bringing the river up, and tomorrow (Tuesday), things should fish PERFECT. I have no doubt that a few fresh fish made the trip up to the dam today no problem.

Rumor has it that Schmidt may have a weekend trip up, which ought to be good considering the amount of rain in the forecast, and temps bringing the fresh fish up...

Game on boys and girls...the spring run has sprung!
