9-30-10 Fishing Report

Hi guys fishing is still as I said earlier int the last report about 2-weeks behind the norm. Believe it or not with the flooding just west in Wisconsin we never really got much of that rain, we are still low and clear and in need of H20 to really get the run rocking like the old days. But overall there are plenty of fish around and enough for everyone to have some fun. We hooked a nice chrome steel in the lower river yesterday and there should be more to come. If your looking for some fall steel , or some late king- coho (on our secret river) fishing my schedule does not open back up until Oct.20,21,28,29

9-19-10 Fishing Report

As far as a fishing report goes, if your pretend that that it is 2 weeks early the salmon run makes complete sense. We are still fishing the lower river and finding sporadic fish some days better than the others, depending on rain weather etc. Just remember the 2 week rule on planing on areas to fish and you will be in good shape. There will be a ton of kings around well into the middle of October.

See ya on the creek,

Hi guys sorry for the biggest lapse ever for me on reports but I have been super busy. As many of you many already know I am going to be a father in a than a week so I have been busy remodeling our home, guiding some and building boats. Needless to say no spare time for much of anything that starts with the word F. Fun, Fishing Etc. if you catch my drift,,,,

As far as a fishing report--- Here it Goes: I have been trout fishing on the upper P.M. (small mayfly's, trico's) in the morning,,,,hoppers as the warmth of the day comes----Trout fishing on the Pine- (hoppers, nymphs) ((this river is fishing better each year after the 08 flood))---The Little Man. also surprised me on the trout fishing last week.

The big fish are at least 3 weeks behind from last year and probably a good week from normal. The rivers to our north have had a few more fish in the them the P.M. is just getting started.

I have a few key dates open from cancellations. These are actually all dates that should be after the baby is due. (Sep. 5th)

Here is what I have open for this fall. Sep. 7-8th, and the 15-16 of Sep. then I am all sewed up until Oct. 16th.

Hope to see you guys soon

See ya on the creek,,,
