Report Date: 12/16/13


The Deep freeze is over, and fishing has picked up significantly!  Over the past week we have seen temperatures increase to highs in the upper 30’s to low 40’s, and along with that water temps have come back up to our normal winter temps in the upper 30’s.  Fishing toward the end of last week was fantastic.  On Saturday two rods hooked a total of 11 steelhead!  We expect fishing to continue to be good through the holidays as the forecast is calling for no major change in the daytime highs.  During this time of year we have the most success backtrolling plugs or diver and bait combinations.  These techniques allow us to present our gear at a slow pace and give the fish plenty of time to decide whether they want to eat it or not.  Side drifting can also be extremely productive this time of year but we find that our success increases exponentially if the water temps are reaching the magic 38 degrees mark. 
For the remainder of this week and into next week look for fishing to continue to be good, and most people don’t realize that this can be the best time of year to be on the water.  Very few boats on the water and plenty of willing fish make for some very enjoyable days.  Also, all of our boats have heaters to keep you extra toasty when it’s a little cold outside. 

Don’t forget that we are offering a 25% discount off our regular trip price if you decide to fish with us during December and January!
