Took a good friend down to the Clearwater River for a chance to catch a B-run steelhead. However, with low and clear water conditons we found the fishing to be tough. I did catch one keeper and hooked another wild one for my friend to reel in and he did a great job fighting it all the way into the net. I also had two other fish on for a short time but somehow they got off......I guess that's how it goes steelheading some days! Overall, a slow day and didn't see many fish hooked and caught. Best part of the trip was running into an old timer as I was leaving that I haven't seen in about 9 years and chatting with him for a few minutes. Fishing should get better as the river gets more moisture.
