Recent Outing's
Jeff Herman and his G/F, Melissa joined me
for 2 days' of Winter Steelhead fishing! Day 1 was a "blue Bird
Sky" and Jeff was the first to land a Trophy steelhead-a 13 lb.
Male in full Spawning color's!! Melissa would have her shot at 4
fish only to lose them (her day would come on day 2). Day 2 was
cloudy and a bit warmer and Melissa was the "Hot Rod"right from
the start!!

Jason Edwards asked me to be the
second boat for his Dad, Gary and 3 Editor's from Field & Stream.com for 2 day's of Winter Steelheading! Nate ,Joe and Jay Wanted
to experience extreme Steelhead fishing and over these last 2
day's got everything they hoped for ...and more! Snow, wind and
air temps in the teens greeted us on day 1 and yet Joe who had
never caught a Steelhead was the 1st to hook/fight/land a
beauty! Nate soon followed and Jay had 2 on and was
determined to close the deal on day 2!
Day 2 started off a bit earlier and
mild temps greeted us -today was going to be a great day on the
water ! The Steelhead co-operated and every 15-20 minute's
one of the guy's would shout "fish on"!
Look for their
video on Field & Stream. com or here on my report's page!!
Joe wasn't on the river 10 minute's
