Welcome to our new blog! Over the next few weeks you'll start to see many changes with our website, our online store, fishing report, this blog, and even the store as we gear up for the sping. We'll be expanding the shop in the near future to bring you even more gear, the top gear available!


Things are not looking good for Steelheaders. The rivers have a lot of anchor and shelf ice already and with highs in the single digits for next week it is going to shut most everything down. We've received about 12" of snow today and the rivers were about 80% locked up with edge ice & slush with a ton of flow ice! The more advanced guys are finding pockets of fishable waters throughout today but single digit temps forecasted for this week are sure to put an end to the open waters for some time. The good news is it is time to start tying flies for the spring run, and to replace all those flies we last this fall. Justin just put in a huge material order that should be in late next week that includes alot of new materials for nymphs, streamers, spey flies, and egg pattern materials that we are looking forward to playing with.


Fishing Tip; Cold water (33-36) Degrees is tough to catch fish in, they are slow and you need to make repeated offerings in order to get a take. Try to fish in the Afternoons when the water has warmed and the slush has burned off. A rise in water temp of only a couple of degrees can make all the difference between fishing and catching.
