Featured Testimonial: Our Clients Write In
Sorry this took so long, we had a lot to catch up on when we arrived back in the warmer climate.
What a fishing experience! We have never fished in literally a "blizzard". Looking back over the pictures, there were times that we were in a total white out. But with your guidance we quickly overcame natures' wrath and I caught 7 big brown trout in one day. What beauties they were.
Joe caught that rainbow which just shows off on its' own in the photograph. Everyone we show the pictures to exclaim that we are crazy, but then they say "nice FISH"! Joe caught his fill of fish the first day. Joe and I both had a great time and really enjoyed the peaceful serenity of the river, even if it was interrupted many times with a fish on situation.
Sinbad was good company for any break times. Not that there were many opportunities to take breaks, as the fish always seemed to be biting.
Take care, we look forward to fishing again soon and hugs to Sinbad.
Joe and Faye Gowran

Steelhead in Huge Numbers
The Salmon River is completely loaded with Steelhead right now. We can not recall a time when there were so many fish from top to bottom.
Steelhead are in all all three stages of spring time activity: pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn (drop backs). There are fresh, BRIGHT, fish still moving in and preparing to spawn, while others are grouping and fighting for dominance. Then of course, there are a few post-spawn fish around, but in all honestly, the spawn is just getting under way.
An added bonus is the thousands of fish still in the hatchery. These fish are able to leave when they decide. Water temperatures and biological clocks will indicate when the migration down stream begins.
For us, bright buggers, streamers, woolly worms, egg patterns and nymphs have been producing. We are targeting fresh fish on the move and aggressive males fighting for dominance. The fish in actual spawn mode, are being left to do their deed. :)
Contact Us for an amazing trip... spring time steelheading is awesome. Warming temps, big aggressive fish.. It's a nice break from the harsh conditions winter brings to the Salmon River.
Photos coming soon.. check back.
