so on the 14th 15th and 16th steelienut , fishdickded, and i will be up on a steelhead trip in salmon and im just wondering if anyone has heard any river reports from up around shoup and down to owl creek? i read one that said the ice was to bad to be to bad to fish that was as of jan 29th, but i talked to a buddy of mine who went up last week and said the ice wasnt bad at all and they actually got into quite a few fish. hes not a good buddy just a guy i know and i dont know how reliable he is. im not to worried about it im pretty good at finding a spot to fish even if it is one hole all day. just wondering if anybody has been up there latley.

i called the shoup store he said there is alot of shore ice but the river is clear and clean you can call him when your trip gets a little closer Shoup Store: 208-394-2125. i usualy try to give them a call he is usualy fairly reliable

a group from preston is in orifino, they went sunday someone talked to them tuesday morning and between 4 of them they had landed 6 fish. i am heading below shoup on the 18th, i think if nothin is going on there i think we are going to head up to orifino. from what they said sounded like they had some big fish.
