“Honest” fishing

PC is finally back from its rehab; I must say it seems to have a new “skip” in it’s step! Steelhead fishing however remains challenging. While some our quoting big numbers and great conditions, I tell it how it is. “Honest” fishing is the phrase of the past few day/weeks. Steelhead numbers are fair but with ultra bright skies and low water their temperaments anything but chipper! Some years we can brag about the “catching” or the “numbers”, but this year we are having to fish, period. Good efforts are rewarded with an honest 3-5 fish a day- end of story. While this doesn’t rival some the the “catching” years, it certainly brings a new level of reward under tough conditions. The real story however is the prelude of things to come in up-coming trout season as the early risers are some of the best trout we have seen in years! You will not want to miss this years trout fishing, as 2009’s cool water summer has left the Mo’ with some very special fish!
