Drove up here this morning - walked and waded several runs around Lewiston and DC
Swung up 3 grabs and failed to materialize any of them into fish in the net. It was a swingers party today - no touches at all on the bobber rig.
Water is low, cold, and clear. I dropped into Lewiston at 9:30 and it was still 27 degrees outside. I would estimate the water is in the low 40s at best. Grabs were quick and short and mostly in slow juicy water at the ends of the runs.
Now for the ugly. Had two different wading anglers push me off of runs I was fishing. One low holed me while I was trying to swing a run and another was literally pushing me down thru a run as he followed me with a float rig sometimes letting his float drift parallel to my position.
I know everyone has the winter steelhead bug but a little bit of etiquette and grace goes a long way. There are hundreds of runs that hold fish on our rivers and plenty of room for everyone. Don’t be that guy/gal who crowds someone out.
