...because no one knows how long this weather and fishing will last. Maybe another week or so if we are lucky. I know the boys were out in force today and having a pretty good time of it.

...inquiring anglers want to know. Well lets just see.


A very nice start indeed, a fly that has been deadly all Fall proves itself again today.


Similar fly but more of a bait fish color. The fresh ones like the bait fish color. This one came after changing flies and working the run again.

And they all like these colors, there may be a theme here.
Hit a run with some fish in it just before dark on Friday and found em hungry.

Had a few hookups and a few more grabs we missed.

My little brother takes a break from law school to try a switch rod for the first time and swung up a nice fish.

Don't know if we had been fishing over no fish most of the day or they just turned on before dark. We fished hard all day for just a couple fish then bam, bam, bam.

Justin brings a very pretty steelhead to hand.

Tight to another one.

Have you picked up on the theme yet?
Darker fish from the lower river, kind of surprising this time of year.

To answer the question we do have chrome. Some of us have been hitting it harder than others and forget to take a break. Pete has been burning it at both ends and is just plain tuckered out. Being hit with a serious cramp in his calf hindered him incapacitated for a few minutes which allowed me to take some photos. Don't worry he's ok now.
