Well, I had to cancel a trip with a couple of you guys in Challis/Clayton this past weekend and I appologize. Had some emergency as I explained and it was a day. but I did get on the little Salmon late Sat. afternioon and all day yesterday. They seem to be smaller fish there but man we got into'em Sat night. I landed 8 in 3 hrs only one keeper and my buddy landed 6 w/2 keepers. One of his was 32" w/good color & that's the largest we saw. I never did break out the fly gear, I felt pressed for time [:/]
yesterday was slower but couldn't get into our honey hole either...Still picked up another 2 keepers each I landed another 6 my buddy 10. Hot fishing in there right now but they are on and off, not really any in between. You are either on'em or not[cool] They favored orange on this trip or I was picking them up on my egg patter glow bugs fies. I cheated and was using flies on my spin cast[shocked]

WOW! That doesn't sound slow to me at all. Sounds like an awesome day.

Yes it was great!! what I meant was Sunday was slower than Sat night[]
Still brought home 4 fish each & I can't ask for a better haul than that on Steelies, what a blast. When they were hitting thay were on fire. a half hour to 45 min. then off like a light switch for a couple hrs. Thats why I didn't rig up my fly rod, I didn't want to miss the rush[cool]
Seems I was on a hole where they would rest up then bolt off. Hard to find such a sweet spot not full of people

Glad to hear you got some fishin' in. That Little Salmon is a pretty sweet river isn't it, when the fish are in there it can be a riot. I found that most the fish are pretty small up there too, but I've also seen some 37'+ fish come out of there. That's a big fish on that little creek.

yea it was a blast! The natives still fought like 40"ers, man you could tell when you hit a native buck in there. Did you get out at all? how did your brother do?

Hey wanted to throw a couple photos of this trip out there, I forgot to add them Mon when I posted. Nice colors but smaller fish. The first one named "3rd keeper" was not a keeper, I miss labeled some of the pics.
