Boondogle in the sunshine for Steelhead!

1/10/2012

0 Comments

 
    Enjoyed a beautiful October --I mean January day on the river with Dave today.  A self professed fair weather fisherman, Dave said that all he wanted  out of today was to be out on this great river in this fantastic weather.  Oh, and he did mention that he would love to catch a fish boondogling floats and spawn.  Well the first part was easy, just had to get the boat to the water.  I was a little unsure of the second wish, what with this still being January and the fish in winter mode.

    The weather was superb as advertised, sunny and 40's.  The fishing was excellent also. We caught a number of fine steelhead as the pictures of a few of our fish from today indicate.  However, the icing on the cake was when Dave cried "there's one", much to my surprise, as were floating in between spots.  As is his custom, Dave was casually fishing in between spots.  Now I have to admit, my finger was on the anchor switch, preparing to set up and fish the next run when he hooked the steelhead.  But no lie, that male bit in less than 2 feet of water!   Thanks to Dave's "Puma" like reflexes, and a little luck the day was made.

    Still a lot of fish in the system, and they are not going anywhere so fishing should continue to be good.  We should have many opportunities for great fishing as the winter progresses.

See you on the water,
Nathan
