Guided River Trips

  • November 14, 2014

    Winter has arrived!!

    A few chilly days this week are changing things on the river for sure. The bite the last two days has been a bit tougher due to the fast moving fronts, but we are still getting into some really nice chrome fish.

    The mint fresh fall run fish can be hard to handle from time to time. If they cant get away by flying, many have sought out deep lumber to seek their freedom. Ride the lightning!

    Float fishing with eggs and covering a bunch of water, looking for the dumb fish has been my best bet this week. The fish are spread out from top to bottom. This is helping spread out the fishing pressure as well.

     

    Due to cancelation I do have this Sunday November 16 open if anyone is looking for a last minute trip

    Summer like weather…wind..lack of rain and massive amounts of leaves in the river are making the bite a little tough, especially in the afternoons.

    We are still getting into plenty of fish, numbers are more traditional this year, if you remember last year you will remember how easy it was..there seemed to be fish under every rock on the river. We were spoiled for sure.

    We have been float fishing daily with egg patterns rigged on light lines, covering water is the key. There are still some kings spawning, these are key areas to fish as the steelhead will be looking for an easy meal.

     

    Due to a recent cancelation I have this Saturday November 1 open.

    Also booking trips for December steelhead..perfect for avoiding the crowds.

    After one of the most dismal fall salmon runs in my 23 years of guiding we have been chasing steelhead since October 8. Was I happy to see the change in seasons….estatic to say the least, as guiding for steelhead is my passion.

    The steelhead numbers are not huge, but there are enough to play with, with increasing numbers daily. Fish seem well distributed through the river system, with faster riffles and runs holding the most fish. Fishing near spawning salmon will also produce steelhead and trout.

     

    Float fishing with egg patterns has been my favorite method, as it allows you to cover so much water and get the biters quickly.

    I still have October 21,27,28 open as well as Nov. 28 if you are looking to get on the water.
