January 2019

As the new year begins, it looks like the first half of January is going to have some mild temps for this time of year. This should provide some good steelheading opportunities. Winter is typically when we take a good number of our biggest steelhead and this year has been no acceptation. Before the New Years holiday, river levels were good and steelhead fishing was consistent. We received a bit of rain over the holiday, boosting the levels of our area rivers. This will help move fish around and potentially bring in some fresh fish. Our main tactic lately has been bobber fishing with bait, but we have also had luck back-bouncing and doing alittle plug fishing. During the winter months, I offer 4 and 6 hour trips. A lot of beauty to be seen on the river this time of year along with the chance to land a trophy steelhead.
