Lower water, fish still biting.
The river has finally dropped to a level that is below ideal. Of course, that depends on who you talk to. In our opinion, the higher the better. Within reason of course. We consider 750 cfs to be the minimum level for ideal conditions and 1800 cfs to be the maximum. Anything in between is …
World class steelhead fishery!!
There’s no sign of the steelhead fishing slowing up anytime soon. Many days we are landing 10 or more, with many breaking the 10 pound mark. Water is 1150 cfs until sunday night, but keep in mind this can change any day. We still have limited openings for november and december so give us a …
A great time.
The fishing on the Salmon River is still red hot. Steelhead are spread throughout the river and, with the water being up, are biting well. With the recent rain that we have recieved and more expected, the water should stay up for a while. The bank fisherman are catching fish on eggs and flies. We …

Nice weather and big spawning browns made for a great trip this week. The fish were all taken on fly gear with 8# tippet.

High water, good fishing. What a surprise.
Well we have been really bad about posting reports lately and apologize for that. We have been fishing each day, but that along with a major renovation on Robins house and the fact that it is deer season has had us busy. We will get back in the routine of at least 2 or 3 …

High water and silver steelies
River is now at 1800 cfs do to the run off from the melting snow we had. The high water has triggered a fresh run of steelhead. Most fish are from altmar to route 2A. We are doing well plug fishing from the drift boats and fish are being taken from shore with egg sacs …
Steelhead fishing heating up!!
Steelhead fishing is getting better every day, trout are spread throughout the river. A few clean salmon have shown up as well. The large crowds of salmon fisherman are starting to thin out.
