It's windy. Really really windy. The kind of wind you can actually see. The kind of wind that leaves its signature for a moment all around you. The grass parts, twigs and leaves are sucked up off the ground and reverse course away from the earth again. Cold water from the river around your legs forms spray as the wind…

I like fishing down stream. Swinging for Steelhead is a fine seasonal transition from months of up stream trout fishing. It’s a different tempo, two stepping down a run. The casting is different, not to mention that some days the fly rod is even totally different. Two hands holding cork now. Cool. When the swing comes tight it's hard to…

SPALT! On a hot August afternoon the sound of a wind-blown grass hopper smacking the water along a shaded undercut riverbank is a dinner bell to trout waiting in ambush.

The reservoir is still filling up and at…

This time last year the steelhead fishing was excellent, but this year the weather is cooler and the fishing has been slower. As with most steelhead reports it depends on who you talk too. The weather will warm up in early April and I expect the fishing to get much better. Below Salmon the water has been going up and…

Steelhead fishing is rapidly approaching. The weather has still been cold, but the days are getting longer and the fish are starting to move up the river. There are fish in the upper river between Yankee fork and Stanley, but most of these fish wintered over in the deeper holes in the area. The main group of fish is moving…
