The Clearwater is back!  After about a week of high dirty water the river fished well yesterday with me and a buddy going 6-7!  Although the river is still quite high, we were surprised by the quality of the fish we landed.  We landed two bucks that were in excess of 15 pounds that looked like they were fish from October.  Bright and full of vigor.  We found a few of our fish in spots we had never fished before, but let a few casts rip because they looked fishy.  In high water anglers should treat the river like a new beast and keep an open mind when looking to hook steelhead.  These fish could be anywhere and covering holes thoroughly is the key to success.
