STEELHEAD TIME

After months of waiting and longingly staring at the Clearwater has paid off as the mighty steelhead has once again returned to its natal waters.  Steelhead are gracing us with their presence as we speak in the cold clear flows of the Lower Clearwater.  As you can tell I am more than a little excited.  This is my favorite time of year!!  Nothing beats swinging up a silver bullet with the spey rod!

The Clearwater is predicted to receive another good return, not as big as last year, but there will soon be plenty of large B- Run steelhead present for us to chaise.  Currently the lower river is starting to accumulate a decent number of the smaller A run fish that make up the beginning of the run.  I don't care weather they are A runs of B runs steelhead are fricken sweet.
