Thanks Steven, much appreciated!
That is a sweet Brown!
There have been some reports from Starman and others regarding the lake, mostly from 2015-16 and prior. I am meeting some old friends there right after Memorial Day and planning on an extended stay,...
Sent you a message
Sent you an email regarding Klamath opening, interested.
This fellow gave a presentation to our club a couple months ago. He can get you into goldens from Ponderosa, above Porterville on Hwy 190. No need for a pack train or multiple day hike....
It’s comparable to the upper Rogue, below the hatchery to Rogue Elk, in summer flows.
Off chance anyone interested in splitting expenses on a Nova Scotia trip?
Destination: Margaree River, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Time: TBD, late June-early July or late September-mid October 2023....
I learned to fish on the upper Sandy tributaries and later cut school regularly to fish steelhead and salmon. A gem of a stream on the edges of a major metropolitan area.
The Mokelumne hatchery has been doing this for a number (?) of years with good success.
Yes, they are. Only reason I’m putting this up is I just got a great deal on a Sage XP in same size/length and I don’t need two of the same.
Any interest in a custom, minty 9'6" 4 piece G Loomis 8 wt IMX rod with an extendable ( 1"-> 4") fighting butt? This is the classic IMX--not the new IMX Pro. No scuffs, scratches or visible marks....
Gorgeous fish, I’m sure you earned it. I was lucky enough to fish the Northern Oregon coast rivers in late ‘60-70’s. They are special fish. Well done!
Seeing any winter fish Brian? Looks like more wild fish than hatchery?
Not at all, just saying there are better options than Columbia tributaries.
I believe all the tributaries to the Columbia from the Yakima upstream list Steelhead and Salmon as ESA protected, no angling for them allowed. The Klikitat is a fragment of what it was as well as a...
Rogue has lots of walk-in access, Streamtime maps are very helpful. I know a good guide if interested, very reasonable. North U is epic, know the etiquette and water can get warm in July and August,...
Thanks to both for the replies, pretty much aligned with what I’ve been told by others. Expecting a fish on any steelhead trip is not realistic anymore, but we still put in the time, right? I...
A friend has offered me his timeshare near Point Arena for December 4 weekend. It’s only 13 miles to the Gualala and maybe some other rivers are nearby? I have no idea, but think it’s probably too...
You can fish an indicator with a switch rod. I’d definitely take one, got my biggest rainbow fishing a dark leech on my Meiser switch with a 10’ type six polyleader on the swing. By September there...
Andy’s comments are right on; I fished it in the 68-76 years when the runs were much better and the anglers much fewer. It was never easy and the entire Columbia basin steelhead are but a fraction of...
I can’t wait to see Steelhead and Salmon up in Klamath Lake and tributaries; along with the wolves that are returning to the area. Just hope the ocean can keep supporting them, it’s looking like...
We really enjoyed the Royal Navy ships in Portsmouth, Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and a steam powered gunship whose name I can’t recall. The New Forest, Winchester or Salisbury cathedrals....
Very little chance of finding quality public fishing for trout; that said, a day on one of the famous chalk streams is not unreasonable. $200-$300 for a day is cheap compared to west coast USA...
Rich Zellman (steelheadwater.com) and Jason Hartwick (Steelheadonthspey) guide the Smith for winter fish. Both would recommend your 8 weight over the 6 as you’re going to be using skagit heads and...
