Steelhead and more steelhead !!! This years run of steelhead is unbelievably great and unexpected. It seem everyday more and more hatchery and wild steelhead are entering the river and heading up stream. This reminds me of the way this river use to be. Today, I fished up river with three people. We hooked and landed approximately 15 steelhead and one salmon. On one drift, we had four steelhead on, landing three and losing one. The salmon are moving in and out of the estuary and the ocean and waiting for the river to cool down before they really make their move up river. A few are starting to make their way up river, but they are few and far between. The steelhead on the other hand are coming in and moving up river once they acclimate to the warmer water. The salmon bite in the estuary has cool down a bit over the last few days, probably due to the low differential between high and low tides that we are experiencing right now and should start running in again any day now. The native Americans' begin their commercial netting this weekend, so we will see an abundance of nets at the mouth and in the estuary over the next several weeks until they meet their secret numbers quota, which probably boils down to whatever they can get away with. This will make the fishing a little tougher, but with the abundance of steelhead, not impossible. My schedule is filling up fast for the days I still have open in August and September, but give me a call and I'll see if we can fit you in on my boat or in an other quality guides boat that maybe available. Pictured below are some of the fish since my last report.
