Boy lots of talk about the tough steelhead fishing this fall. Yes the numbers are down but so many guys have lost their A game. I would compare the fishing now to what it was in the early 2000’s. Is it a grind at times, yes, should people be taking regular 0’s no. There are fish to be had our worst trip this fall we landed 5 fish most days we landed 7 to 12 fish a day. With a handful of days where we landed 15 to 25. It culminated with my boat hitting the Salmon River for the first time today (as most of you know I avoid at all costs the last few years)and had no problem getting into double digits. The fishing isn’t so easy a cave man can do it but if you have half a brain and can adapt to conditions there are fish to be had on any given day. There some people out there stealing people’s money that is for sure and over the next couple seasons it’s really going to show. The reduced crowds are nice keep stroking boys.
