Steelhead Coming–23 September 2013

Steelhead usually arrive in the Salmon area in fishable numbers in the third week of October.  Dam counts were low earlier, but now are a strong average.  More important than numbers, in the Salmon area, is water temperature, which affects the migration.  The river is cooling, which will stimulate fish to move upstream.  We have a trip this week on the Lower Salmon, but expect to be a little early for steelhead, will spend more time on smallmouth bass.  As our steelhead fishing approaches, I will provide frequent updates here.  We have a fairly open calendar for our fall fishing at this point.  Give us a call to hold a day.
