Recently if your willing to drive, beat the boat up a bit, and fish off color water it can pay off. Sitting at home waiting for internet predictions of when the water will be perfect is a waste off time. Go high when the water is high…Yep and back to the basics! High water means that fish are gonna boogie upstream no two ways about it. Where are you going to find the clearest water after a few weeks of relentless down pours and mudslides? Generally upriver! Draw backs will be technical water so better be good on the sticks. High fast water and mine fields can ruin a day fast so be careful and use your PFD….
Hit a coastal river with Jim and Todd and landed three gorgeous fish with a few more opportunities . Here is a shot of Todd fighting a nice nate that just pounded a plug in off colored water. Been using these line counters instead of bobber stops. Really working out good and so much easier! 
Here is a monster Chinook Jim and Barry tied into a few weeks ago on the same trib.

Winter Fun Todd On Fire!
Here are a few pics of some recent winter steelhead trips we have been doing. Todd has been onfire hooking fish on about every trip out with me and Beau. These pics are of him on a trip last week with Beau on his birthday. Happy Birthday Beau and lets get out real soon for a floating BBQ!

We have been burning some killer steaks on the beach recently courtesy of Todd’s sister…Nothing like a warm shore lunch to warm the bones. Her pack of fresh crab and razor clams will be in the mail real soon to reciprocate. Stay tuned for the crab harvest video! Steelheading has been decent but tough also with the largest amount of river traffic I have ever seen. Not to complain but also the amount of people with zero clue are really just getting in the way. Rather that clog the river why not just get a guide for the day to take a quick lesson. Save us all some frustration please
