Steelhead fishing is getting better every day, trout are spread throughout the river. A few clean salmon have shown up as well. The large crowds of salmon fisherman are starting to thin out.

Well, Columbus weekend is behind us. We take the weekend off each year for some much needed rest and to avoid the HEAVY crouds on the river. We will be back in the swing of things on Tuesday. There are lots of fish. As many as we have ever seen. Unfortunatly, the water is low, which means that the people who choose to use non-ethical and illegal methods to harvest Salmon, will have there way with them because the fish don’t have enough water to safely hide from them. Oh well, as long as there are Salmon in a river… there will be people who will do anything to get them. Salmon fever I guess. Plenty of water to float with the boats though, and the fishing has been good. Steelhead season will soon be here.

Many salmon have moved out of the pools to there spawning locations. Steelhead are starting to show up. Fish with egg sacs or egg pattern flies, and you will catch both steelhead and salmon.River is 500 cfs.

We have been on the river now for a couple of weeks. To say the Salmon River is loaded with fish, would be an understatement. They are spread from top to bottom. The crowds have been a bit much to deal with. It is a catch 22, all the fisherman in the area are great for the economy, but with so many people on the river, there are fewer spots to catch fish in. All the heavy crowds are all but behind us now. A few more days brings us Columbus weekend. We don’t fish then because, through the years, we have found it impossible to guide people to a quality day of fishing on the river. It is the busiest weekend of the year. I guess Salmon fishing in Pulaski on Columbus weekend, must be tradition to a LOT of people. The fishing has been ok considering the lack of available spots. Our clients have landed some quality Salmon lately. Looking forward to Steelie season. They should be here any day.

Well, after a week of struggling for a few fish each day on the river, they finally started to act like Salmon and bite our plugs. The action was the best early but we had random bites throughout the day. The fish are spread from top to bottom. A bunch of fish moved through the lower end yesterday, including some Cohos and Steelies.

Only a couple of lake trips left. Here are some photos from some trips last week. All the Salmon are in front of the River at this point and that is where we spend our time fishing. Flatlining J-plugs and Orcas and fishing glow spoons off the riggers have produced fish.

We only have a couple trips left on the lake. River season is in full swing. Fishing is ok but not great. The best action is early in the day. After that, things slow down. Most of the fish are holding in the bigger pools but today, we did take advantage of a couple of fish in the shallows with flyrods.

We have had a busy lake season with its ups and downs,we are looking forward to fishing the river oct- dec.Fish are being taken in 10 to 20 feet of water in front of the salmon river. Large j-plugs and mag size spoons in any of the glow colors will work. Troll your flat lines back 150 feet and spoons off the riggers 50 to 75 feet.
