As I write this report we are winding down our 2012-2013 steelhead season.  We had some incredible fishing over the past 7 months.  Every phase of our steelhead season brought with it special challenges and many rewards.  We are truly blessed to be able to make our living fishing on one of the greatest rivers in the entire Northwest.  We also blessed to spend countless days on the water with truly great individuals who decide to spend their hard earned money to enjoy a few days on the water with us.  If it were not for the generosity of our great clients we would not be able to make our passion our living.  Thank you from all of us at Clearwater River Company because it is you that make all this possible. 

Currently we are looking forward to our next fishing opportunities on the Clearwater, both Spring Chinook and Fall Steelhead will be here before we know it!  As for spring Chinook, we are forecasted to have a substantially smaller return of these incredibly tasty fish, but we should still hopefully see some great fishing opportunities even if it means a shorter season than the past few years.  Fish and Game should have seasons set sometime in late April, but before that we really won’t know what kind of season we are looking at.  If you are interested in a spring Chinook adventure with us don’t hesitate to get in touch with us, as our available dates should book up fast. 

The biggest thing we are looking forward to is our 2013 Fall Steelhead season.  We are already taking quite a few bookings, so if you know when you want to come and fish with us don’t hesitate to get your preferred dates booked.  Fall is our favorite time of year to be chasing steelhead on the Clearwater and it’s not an opportunity we think any outdoors person should ever go without.  I am already dreaming about giant B-Runs smashing a fly fished near the surface on a floating line, or a plug rod getting almost ripped out of a rod holder.
