Fishing report

The last two weeks have been great, as scheduled we began our official steelhead season and the fishing has not disappointed. All groups so far have had 100% success. Most of our guests so far have hooked between one to four fish each per day. Last Friday was an exception to that with 14 fish hooked and 9 landed. Its very promising to see such good fishing already in February, March should be spectacular with many fresh fish entering and good weather heading our way.

The early part of the season has seen a lot of fish in the 7-10 pound range. This is fairly typical of the early part of the season with our river. Most of the biggest steelhead arrive around the month of March and some well into April. I am pretty excited to see what the next few weeks will bring.

Fishing pressure on the river has been moderate with many anglers frustrated with challenging conditions and infrequent catches. This has been a blessing for us. This season has been very unique with a wide range of conditions and water levels. It has been very important to stay on top of these fish and really study what they are doing. I cant stress how important it is this year to pay attention to details. Its the small things that are making a big difference and minor adjustments to the approach has paid off in huge success rates.

This last period of reports we have been fishing the entire river. We have fished the upper on days when the river is high and worked our way down with the drops in water levels. We have had success on all our usual bait and this season wool and a Jensen egg has been really hard to beat.
This is really a staple bait in winter steelheading and if you have the proper conditions it will out fish bait every time. My personal belief is that you just get more casts into the river and that adds up at the end of the day.

   We still have some dates available for the month of March and a few in April.  If you are interested in a day of great fishing and scenery give us a call and book your day.
Steelhead fishing is now heading into the peak months and with better weather it just gets even nicer to be on the water.

Cheers and good luck

Fishing Report

The best steelhead fishing of the season is going to start in the next few days. We finally have some high water and the current conditions are not ideal.
 This will change by the middle of the weekend and we should be on the drop all next week. This is going to allow us to target all those fish that migrated into the river on the high water.
 Best sections of river for us have been from Allison to the closure slab. This week we will be focusing on water further down river. We have caught fish on the fly, bait, and soft plastics like worms and Gooey Bobs.
 If you have a hard time fishing our rivers in high water you are not alone. Most people have a difficult time recognizing what is good water. Look at water and determine if its comfortable for a fish to hold in.
 We still have some days available for February and March for steelhead fishing.

This season we are again doing trips up the upper Pitt. If you enjoy fishing in remote areas with the opportunity of large fish, This is a trip you will want to consider for the summer period.

These fish are all ocean migration fish that are bright, aggressive and strong

best times for this river is between June 1st and the 10th of August
