Steelhead fishing this year seems to be the best we have seen in many years. The fish counts over the various dams has been at all time highs and reports of good catch ratios are very positive.
My experience has been very positive as well with my wife Annette, friend Doug Coe and I fishing on the Snake River with Guide Tim Johnson in Oct. We had a 25 fish day with 17 to the boat and 14 hatchery fish kept. This kind of fishing is rare I am sure but sure makes for a great day on the river when it happens.
Enjoy the photos and if you want a great experience contact Fish Hawk Charters in Lewiston and book a trip with Tim Johnson while the fishing is hot and the weather mild.Snake River Steelhead 09
