One that accidentally swam into my net earlier this fall....
If you are wondering whats working stop in the shop and talk to Justin...He's been catching more fish than a gillnetter...this toad is from today on the Grand

Wild Alaskan Salmon makes a great stream side appetizer....

So far this season has been a roller coaster ride for most anglers in search of the steelhead ghost; there have been several periods of good fishing that are followed by longer periods of slow fishing. Most anglers are blaming the low flows, clear water and bright sun as the main culprits and i would have to agree that those conditions are tough for catching steel. However our guides have been getting clients into fish very consistently by adapting to the conditions and changing spots regularly. If you are not finding fish in your usual spots it is time to search out new sections of river and learn how to fish them. Since there are not the usual numbers of fish in the rivers for this time of year and they do like to move around on use (usually up stream:hint hint) you as an angler have to be willing to do the same thing. Now stay with me here, there have been several good pushes of fish and these fish move upriver, but there has not been many good pushes of fish lately soooo...where are these fish from earlier runs????

So what should we expect for December....great things...if we get water, which i pray we do. There is a great number of steel waiting to push into our tribs and water temps are still very good...when the opportunity presents itself be on the water...it should be a December to remember....

We currently have several openings for guide trips in December so if you are looking to get out give us a call...440 247 7110
