Fall Salmon and Summer Steelhead

This has been a great month for both the kick off of fall salmon
and the continued success of the summer steelhead season.  

Everyone is excited about the huge returns expected this year for
Columbia River.  The season opened up August 1st and was
better than normal with many boats catching limits of coho and a
lot of Chinook being caught as well.  Now is the time to call and
reserve your spot for the Buoy 10 Fall Salmon Fishery.

The Nisqually fishery has also kicked off with bang.  There are
fish to be caught as long as you can get to the right holes.  
Boaters have been catching 2-3 fish a day and we've even hit
quite a few limits of adult Coho/Chinook.  Be aware that the
current netting schedule on the Nisqually River is from Sunday at
noon, until Thursday at noon.

We have been consistently catching 2-4 steelhead a day on the
Wynoochee floating from both 7400 and Cross Over.  The recent
rains helped bring the water levels up to guidable/driftable levels.
It's like a ghost river with only 1-3 boats a day on the river.  This
makes for a very nice, quiet and scenic float down the beautiful
Wynoochee River.

The Cowlitz River has been a little slower than usual this summer
but we've managed to pull our fare share of steelies out of the
river.  Pulling plugs and drift fishing have been equally productive.


Fishing Report February 5th, 2009

Floated from 7400 on the Wynoochee River to the White Bridge
Boat Launch.  Went 3 for 5.  Most days we are hooking 2 to 5
fish a day.  The Wynoochee is running at 600cfs, with 3 feet of
visibility.  Steelhead fishing on the Wynoochee River should
improve throughout the next few weeks.  We are catching
steelhead on pink tad pollies and green and chrome brad's
wigglers, and side drifting eggs.  Springer season's right around
the corner.  Book now for prime dates.  Record runs expected.
