Salmon River Steelhead


Recommended Posts

Dad & I got out with Andy Bliss from Chasin' Tail Adventures on Sunday and tied into quite a few steelhead, with the highlight being this pig that I landed on a trout bead fished under a float:

Here's a few other random pics from the trip:

It was COLD, but we still had a great day. Andy sure knows the river and he put us on fish all day long. I'm looking forward to my next trip up there...sure is a great way to cure cabin fever!

Yeah, it's one of the prettiest places in the State as far as I'm concerned. And it's also one of the premier trout & salmon fishing rivers in the country. If you ever get out this way it's definitely a must-fish!

We didn't put it on a scale for fear of the cold weather harming the fish. We snapped a couple of pics really quick and got it back into the water unharmed. We guessed it to weigh somewhere between 16-17 lbs.

That was my first time float fishing for steelhead Skeiner...it won't be my last that's for sure!!

Very nice, that big steelie is a hog! Winter is my favorite time on the rivers for steelhead. The bite is not as always consistent but the lack of crowds and long stretches of water to yourself make it worthwhile.
