Fishing Report

This week has been fair for steelhead. We saw a few great sized fish show up at the end of last week. We followed them up the river with some decent success. The river conditions have been low again for most of this week. I really like when we get these low water periods, It condenses the fish into very defined holding areas and makes them a bit more predictable. Pressure on the river often dies down a bit when it gets challenging.

When the river drops you really need to focus your efforts on water that offers security for fish. I prefer deep pools and faster water edges that will hide steelhead. These places will always hold a few aggressive fish and sometimes you have to get a bit creative. Many anglers believe you need to tone your offerings down and this will certainly yield a few fish. I will always start with something small and see what the fish want. If this doesn't work it time for a bit of shock and awe. Large worms, big Colorado blades or a brightly cured prawn Will often get a bite.

This week the water is not really going to rise much so the fish wont be traveling very far. best bets in low water conditions will be in the lower sections of the river. Steelhead will actually bounce in and out of the river depending on water height. Most will hang around for a few tides and then move. Lickman rd to the highway bridge will see some consistent action this week.

We have some great dates still available for this season. We offer a great day of instructional steelhead fishing to help you become a better angler on the water. This will boost the learning curve of steel heading very quickly.
