Quick Report 2/28/11

Don't have much time but here it goes. The last few days were some very tough swung fly conditions. Low, clear and cold water made things a challenge. The water temp I took saturday on the upper Hoh was 36, coldest reading of the season. Sunday may have been colder but I didn't take a reading. Even with the tough conditions, with some hard work we did have some opportunities at fish.Things are changing right now, its ugly out there with a mix of snow, rain, and wind. Conditions should improve over the next few days, new water and new fish. I have openings available for anyone interested in chasing some OP steel.

2/14/11 Report

Swinging flies for wild Olympic Peninsula steelhead continues to be good. We have been finding willing fish on all the area rivers. As always presentation and covering lots of water are the name of the game when it comes to winter steelhead on a swung fly. Chad and I have also spent a lot of time developing some fly patterns that I'd like to think are helping improve the odds as well. If you are looking to improve on your casting, presenting the fly, reading the water, we would love to help! I am also offering hourly casting lessons for anyone looking for a tune up before hitting the river. 616-540-3836

John put in a lot of hardwork and was rewarded with his firts spey steelhead as well as a couple more!

Scouting Mission





I blurred the details of the fly out:) Come fish with us and I'll show you!

Crowds have increased a bit with the closure of the Puget Sound rivers. It is important that we all stay courteous and treat these fish with care to protect these fish into the future. Release all wild steelhead!
