Matt with a nice chrome hen
 
 Nick settles a score on a big chrome hen. 
 
 All the way from Hawaii, 5th grader Jack with his first steelhead!

A little steel on a teens day.
 
The river looks great! If anybody still needs that last minute gift of a lifetime, a half or full day guided trip makes for a great present! The fishing continues to be good for big fish. Rising temps have the fish more aggressive right now and the bite has been good. I have a heater provided in the boat, but make sure to bundle up! Hope everyone has a safe holidays, Merry Christmas!                -Steve Cornetet

Matthew with a gorgeous winter buck 
 
A great PM fish

 There are a lot of steelhead in the river

 PK with a great fish!

 Cletus with one of the biggest fish I've netted all year!

 One I landed on a float on the go!

 Josh with his first steelhead to hand!

Matt with a great colored up buck great fight!
 
The weather has been a little cold but the fish don't seem to mind! The fishing has been great and with the cold temperatures fishing pressure is very low to non existent. The fish seem to still be very HOT even with the drop in water temps. The size of fish continue to be the best we have seen. This is the year to chase steel, with fish consistently larger than years past. If you want a chance to catch the fish of your dreams call the lodge today. Dress warm and I will have a heater provided in the boat, If  you are not sure you can make it through a full day just do a half day. Also ask about our winter specials. I look forward to seeing some of you in my boat this winter! -Steve Cornetet
