Ducttaped4runner and his girlfriend carlee came up to see me for the weekend and neither had ever caught a steelhead.Fishing was fantastic. Best I've had since I moved to Lewiston. fished three days with fly rods and the last day with nothing but drift fishing on my bait casters. Hooked multiple fish every day I even deverginised the Spey rod. Got some good pictures too. Carlee ended up landing two a big male and a nice hen. ducttaped4runner Sadly never landed one but hooked and fought multiple fish.

Fantastic and great news on the Spey. Did you fish it the whole time? And I gotta know, what fly????
[signature]
big beadhead prince nymphs seemed to be the meal ticket on the flys really the water was murky so i pretty much fished big and black the whole time.

Duck-slayer you are more than welcome to come up on a weekend. Just keep me posted.

Congratulations on catching one with a spey rod - that is an accomplishment. Days like that make up for all the time spent in the rain and snow without a hit but they wouldn't happen if you didn't put in the time and effort.

So did you break in the spey rod swinging or indicator nymphing?

+1?

Got one swinging and one nymphing on it.

Looks great to me. I am headed up on the 20th. Hope the water holds steady! If I can find one fish like that I will be happy as a kid in a candy store. Yee Ha. Good Job.

We will be fishing Sat and have to return on Sunday. Sounds Cool we stay in Grangeville. How far from Grangeville do you fish? I don't blame you if you don't want to put it on the web I will have a girl with me that has never caught a steelhead. We went out and bought her first waders boots and stuff she has been wearing them all week. LOL

are you fly fishing, drift fishing or bobber fishing?
[signature]
Thanks Chrome We will mostly be fly rodding. Don't know much about spey rods. You might enlighten me?? What is with a spey rod? I seen one once lol. Went out today to let her practice flipping a fly rod. Had to go back and look at your pics again. Wow what great fish. I won't sleep again tonight. Not sure if I will take the bobber stuff might just for a backup.
