Here is one the my proudest
moments as a Guide...
11 yr.old Reilly Keenen fought ,landed,
released this magnificent Coho using a Orvis rod/reel that I
gave him ,using his own hand tied fly! I could not be more proud
of this young man!!!!
Mid-end of March=Spring fishing at it's best!
Joel worked hard to get to fight / land
this 10 lb. Brown Trout Truly a Trophy of a life time!
Joel with a very ripe female !!
Josh had the "hot rod" this am, fighting
10 Steelies!
Todd landed the last fish of the day=a
beautiful fresh female!!
Jim was not to be out fished by his
friend ,Sal!
Sal with his first of the day!!
I first met Shawn at the Pineville launch and
while waiting for my ride to show up, I watched at Shawn
struggled to cast his Center pin rod! I introduced myself and
gave Shawn a few pointers and he then asked if I would take him
out and teach him how to float fish. Yesterday Shawn and I
started this young man's journey when after about 30 minutes of
casting ,he hooked fought /landed his first ever Steelhead on a
center pin!
Shawn with his 1st ever Steelie

Rob Walker brought up his 2 sons,John(12) and
Daniel (almost 10) for Daniel's birthday! Dad wanted his boys to
fight a few Steelhead and WOW did they ever! Both boy's
fought a total of 18 fish this morning -an outstanding day for
any fisherman!
John with another Steelie! These 2 young
men put on a show for the fishermen that were fishing across
from us!
Birthday boy Daniel with his 1st Steelie
of the morning!
John with his 1st landed Steelhead of
the morning -would not be his last!!
Greg Norkus took a day off from operating THE
FINEST eatery in Ithaca-"Mercata" to decompress with a morning
of Steelhead fishing! Not many people out ,we had a spot to
ourselves and the bite was a bit slow but steady, Greg fighting
10 fish till it was time to get him back to Ithaca...
This would be the last landed Steelie of the
day!
Greg's first of the morning!
Here are a few more pics from the last
few days! Fishing continues to be good for those of us that are
out on the river !
Mike Redlin (a VERY GOOD Friend) brought up
Lindsey Norkus for a break from running his family's
Restaurant- Mercata in Ithaca and while we faced a cloudy day
with easterly winds, both guy's got to fight about 8-9 fish...
Mike hit 3 fish in the first 30 minutes
of the day!

Rob and Mor'gan came up for their first ever
try at Trophy Trout! Morgan' is here from Normandy, France on a
temporary work assignment . The day broke Sunny and chilly and
,at least for us ,a steady bite all morning! Both guys fought,
landed and released 14 Steelhead today! A great day by all
standards!!!
Rob with a fresh Hen Steelhead-his largest
landed fish ..ever!
Mor'gan from Normandy, France with one

Larry & Paul had tried Spring Steelhead
fishing last year with less than desirable results (with another
guide) so the Jersey boy's wanted to give it another try! A last
minute call to me and we were set to spend the day fishing and
learning my style of Steelhead fishing! A windy day greeted us
and the bite was steady through out the morning. Paul was the
high hook -fighting 9 winter Steelies and Larry fighting 4,with
his one male landed that was the largest of the day!
I have to share this e-mail just received-
George,
Paul just called me on his ride home and could not say enough
great things about you and the day he just fished. He called it
spectacular!
They ran into two fisherman before they left town, who fished
all day and did not get a bump. They told these guys that , "It
is all about the Guide." I know from first hand experience that
is true.
I am thankful for all the great days you guided me on the
Salmon River, I hope we can do it again soon. Everyday I look
at that 21lb steelhead on my office wall and smile as I remember
that day.
I am not going to Montana this Spring so I hope to come to the
Salmon River instead, I will let you know.
Be well
Tom Fischer
