A group of us scouted a new river. Water was super high. We found a section that looked fishy. BOBBERDOWN! We went 9/14 as a group and I went 5/8. I released 3 downriver fish and 1 that pushed 14 pounds. Great day fishing with some good friends. We were home just in time when the Turkey was being pulled out of the oven. :cheers:

Maybe Monday I'll have a chance to get out, weather permitting. Darn fronts have been hitting on my days off, very frustrating!

U kno me... i dont go steelheading ANYWHERE without my eggs. Uncured, just borax on coho eggs under float with a bit of pink or red yarn. Fished a hole today right after 3 guys left it, and they were using single eggs and jigs and caught one. I took one cast as they were leaving, hooked a 10 pounder. They turn around and are like what the hell??? they leave and i proceed to catch 6 more. Gotta have the roe. Lol Heres todays pictures, went 2/4 today, water got lower made fishing tougher but still good day!
