Turkey Day 2010 Fishing Report

Well the rain didn't do much in the coloration of the water but it seemed to move the fish around and considering the bitter cold a shot of chrome in the arm can really help. Covering lot's of water and keep swinging for the fences will get you a bent rod. If you have only experienced spring steelhead you should come up and feel the tranquil of this time of year, it's fun not being able to see the fish.......

That's a great father and son shot!!!

As you may know or not:::: Tony is the best Autistic Steelhead Fisherman in the country and one great friend

Father and son having a blast on the P.M.

11-20-10 Fishing Report

No Rain as of yet but we are still having fun chasing silver. Stealth and persistence pays off!!! We are still enjoying decent fishing considering the tough water conditions. Steelhead have to eat, and they know that winter is setting in,,,,each one of these rod rippers is memorable

Sorry about the smaller shots, the program would not format the pics correctly. Mr. November Joe Reed has a great fall after-n0on.

These fish really rip line, send that back to Chicago young man

A bit sunnier than I would like but we connected throughout the day

Mack with a huge coho, along with a giant early morning steelhead,,,Big fish missed the camera this day for Mack, great day previously grouse hunting Doc.

Opening day steel on the steelhead bugger for Mr. November--- What a fight---Why go fish for Tarpon this fish was out of the water more than in.

11-8-10 Fishing Report

Hi been a while since the last post. Things are low and clear but with proper presentation and a little Stealth we have been getting some fish to the net. Fall Steelhead are really the king of the fresh water when it comes to a fight. Small egg patterns, some nymphs, instinct bites like big streamers and of course a bit of hardware sprinkled in. This time of year fly's can keep up with bait.


Mark with a nice fall coho

Steve with a really nice king landed for Nov. 7th caught on the swing

Marky Mark with a nice skip
