Headed out to try and get my first steel of the new year swinging flys. Weather and water temps were really cold. Air temps barely over 30 degrees F and water temps hovering around 35 degrees F. These are tough conditions for the steelhead fly fisher. No players found today, but I take my lickings on my own terms, swinging for steelhead with a two handed fly rod.
This spring looks to be very promising! We had a stellar fall and fishing remained really good well into December. We typically start to warm up near the end on January. This causes our fish to once again continue migrating up the river. As water temps improve into the upper 30's and 40's we will see a major improvement in fishing!
Awesome. Certainly the guy i want to support. A local who lives and breaths the river.
