The Steelhead fishing is still underway. There still are a few fresh fish entering the system into the lower river. They really do not seem to want to hang around for a long period of time and are heading into the Upper. Guide Matt has been drifting and sticking to the Upper River where there seems to be more fish. They are not quite as fresh as the Lower River. A little rain which looks like it is going to happen this week will bring up the water which will help improve the fishing. Matt and other guides have been picking up three to five steelhead per day averaging ten pounds. Higher water could help in better results as we advance into the middle of March. Guides have been using gooey bobs and various spin-n-glows. We are expecting the fishing to continue in the river for another month. All of the fishing in he upper is on the drift. Coho returns look very good this year. We are expecting some excellent fall fishing in late September which will continue well into November. These are very popular trips and are filling already. Do not delay in calling if you wish to experience river fishing at its best in the fall of 2008. Only so many boats and spots at once are available.
