Smith River Northern Cal?

Post by rancocasrich » Thu Jan 15, 2009 5:23 pm

Has anyone fished the Smith River in Northern California? I will be in Crescent City CA in mid-July and am told it is an excellent river for fishing. What is there? How do you fish it? Is there shore/river bank fishing? What type of tackle? lures? etc. Any suggestions and opinions are appreciated?

Time to google...http://www.usafishing.com/smith.html You will find help here at this web site. Steve

Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.

The Smith River in N.Cal still has some at times great steelhead runs many which can be pounded from the beach and a great Drift Boat river as well.
