I will be at Cove Creek camped this weekend. Redbeard1 will be going Nov. 13ish and I will be going then or the next weekend. Anyone is welcome to let us know and we can do some fishin'. I'm thinking my Nov. trip will be alone, so if one or two want to float just let me know, maybe we can work out a trip.

They stock them in Oct - Nov, at least that's been the way for the past several years.
Fished in town (between BSU and Barber park) - tons of anglers - didn't see anyone else hook a steelie, but I managed to hook 3. Landed 1, first one rolled off almost immediately - last fish ran straight for the bottom and I think made contact with the river bottom when she came un-hooked. Other one fought very well and was a blast on a 6 wt rod. Fishing was pretty good - but most guys were throwing bait or fishing giant flies - I downsized and it seemed to pay off.
I think they take the fish from Hells Canyon - waiting for fish to reach the hatchery would mean that only super tired fish would get into the river - and that would prob mean a low survival rate after being transported.
Tight Lines!

Are there any particular places I should fish in the Shoup area? Or should I just look for the people? haha...
I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'm just gonna wing it and try to catch one..

Yeah, asking would probably be best...
If anybody has a free day Thursday, I think I am going to head down to Shoup and try my luck at some steelies.

All,
I'll be headed up to the salmon 5-10 Nov. might start in the little salmon if I can, have to check regs. will fish Riggins area for a few days and if not good will head north on the salmon. I will be in Riggens 6-8 at least. Will be in a diesel 4 door white Ford hauling a cargo trailer. Yes that's our sleeping quarters [:/]
My buddy from Maine and another guy will be with me but want to meet up with some of you guys.
Redbeard, I had to cancel on you and your bro last spring and that sucked, so I hope you guys can make it. The invite is open so you are all welcome. Can treat you to some elk steaks si if your hungry stop by...

Hey great idea, last fall I suggested we all get hats made so we could see a fellow BFT member on the water. Sounds kinda gay I know but if we had a way to detect each other I think we'd be supprized just how many of us share the same water...

] (don't mind actually, just thought this would be more appropriate). 
] Caught my first steelhead on wednesday morning right at Shoup. I had hooked a couple others earlier but lost them. People were catching fish all up and down the river. I'm heading back up there on the 9th of November. If anyone is going to be up there I would like to meet up w/ you and fish w/ you if you don't mind.
