Third time is the charm. Here's Ed with the third fish he hooked that morning and his first landed winter steelhead. River was in great shape with plenty of fish. Hopefully the good numbers will hold up well into spring. Call now for available dates.

Finally, rivers are back in shape and fish abound. Troy, all the way from Central Washington, made the most of his weekend on the coast, hooking three chrome-bright winter steelhead. With good weather forecast for the rest of the week condition should continue to improve. Call now to book a trip for some great coastal steelhead action.

On a different note, I am giving a seminar at the Orvis store in Bridgeport Village in Tigard on January 29 at 10am. The topic of the seminar will be indicator tactics for winter steelhead. Hope you can make it.

A sharp, biting, cold wind, iced guides, an occasional flurry of snow and a few steelhead. Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday. Despite the cold water all of our fish where off and running once hooked. There was no sluggishness when the hook was set. Winter steelhead fishing has been great early so look for it to continue. Give me a call to take advantage once our coastal rivers subside.

Despite iced guides and frozen fingers, fishing was great today. Sometimes it helps to put in a little later than usual. Water was perfect. There was little pressure on the river. What more could you ask for? Oh, and these were all caught using flies.

The coastal rivers are coming into shape and there are fish throughout the systems. Using flies has been very effective when the conditions are right. Winter steelhead take a fly when presented right. Come fish with us to learn the techniques useful in hooking into one of these beautiful fish.

Winter steelhead are here. The water was ideal for fly fishing and we managed to hook a few fish before the heavy rains started. Fishing should be fairly good after this latest bout of rain. Fish the lower river for a higher percentage of hatchery steelhead.
