This truly is a shame. What's even worse is this is a repeating cycle every year. I took this subject up with my future brother-in-law who's a federal fish bio. We both spoke of lack of...

The population of Washington is 6,500,000 +:paranoid:

I was just reading the regulations in Washington, and in several rivers everyone in the state can take one wild steelhead per year. This includes the Hoh and several other rivers. Maybe the...

It should be noted that the Hoh and Quilleute Tribes are in Washington where there tend to be more and bigger fish.

I suggest you pick up the old book by Jim Freeman 1984. It is a pretty good starting point. There is a lot of outdated info, but there is also some good stuff. You can buy it used on Ebay or...

You guys were doing so well for awhile there. :eek: I say if you can't bead 'em join 'em. The bead of the week has been a very light orange mottled 6mm. :rolleyes:

How do we know, you always have that beanie on!! Haha good stuff guys!:unibrow:

Brian,

Here you were trying to wade in quietly and your buddy threw a rock at the tailout! That was funny!!:p

Another nice fish there Matt! Did your bead slide down to the hook during the fight? I usually use a set up like Bob. Bead at 1-2 inches from hook. That is one of best colors though, orange...

Nice chromer there!! Looks like a caramel 10 or 12mm. Corner of the mouth.;) Is that from Alaska?

This is my first year out of ten that I finally gave in and started using beads for trout. I have to say they work better than glowbugs, other bugs and soft hackles behind salmon. I was on the Yuba...

There was an article in Fly Fisherman Magazine a few years ago that told the story of how some well known fly fisher hatched a bunch of brown trout with an older egg box back east and invented the...

Bug, are you saying steelhead are caught in these nets and what?, die and are simply discarded as a casualty of salmon netting? The picture in my mind is getting worse...

From the limited...

It really is up to small groups to pursue their fishing rights. If you just say it is not their fish or their river then, you should be out there fighting for those fish. A great compromise would...

This, to me, is a telling statement however: "That is our river," Fletcher said. "Those are our fish. And we manage those fish in a responsible way."

Their fish? Their river?


Imagine if...

Nice to see an article that presents both sides. If you want to blame a decline in salmon and steelhead blame George Bush. We are still feeling the effects of the George Bush fish kill. If you...

It seems that wade fishing will be better if the number of drift boats is managed. Everyone knows that the drift boats back row the best spots so that wade fishers have a tough time catching fish. ...

Are you guys serious?:D Most people who have fished the Trinity or Klamath probably seriously damage a few smolts per outing with size 10 or larger hooks. Ed Wahl has the best take, let it go. The...

There are quite a few fish in the tailouts eating caddis and small stoneflies. :DThrowing beads at the redds should be avoided.:eek:

I have heard it before, but the front page of the Chronicle says it is close

Maybe some of you should read this article that was in the Chronicle. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/13/CMD4V8F7E.DTL. The Native Americans on the Klamath are allowed to...

I am deleting my post. I hope all the other negatives are deleted as well.

Wrong site for any of this.

There are quite a few people and fish that would support this regulation change. Due to heavy fishing pressure over the past few years and the lack of planting this year the fishery is in a state of...

Thanks for that info. It looks like the area I have been fishing can still be accessed and the flows will be similar.
