The fishing slowed down this week for us a bit, the water became a little off-color making catching fish a challenge, pretty much have to hit them in the nose with it! Also, the river is still pretty cold too, so they aren’t very active. We have been gradually making our way further up river out of ice at both Vinegar and Spring Bar.

Not a ton of fish today but a ton of fun with all of our groups of ladies!

We had a 4 boat crew of a bunch of girlfriends and they overtook Riggins with their laughs ad good times! One of the girls was even in the band that rocked out our live music at Seven Devils all weekend! We had 2 of them at Hammer Creek and 2 at Spring bar, no steelhead caught  but a few trash fish and memories!

Annette Gilmore’s group was the fishiest of the day, but also had the biggest adventures! They were fishing on Rich and Tommy’s boat. Annette herself reeling in a 24″ hatchery. Tavia Thompson landed 2 hatchery fish, putting her into 4th Place Most Fish! Jo Farrish reeled in a nice wild one! They then got stuck behind some ice that came out! So, they had to grab what they wanted to pack out with them and they had a straight up climb from the boat to the river trail. After not quite a mile hike on the river trail, Sam’s boat was on the other side of the ice to pick them all up to take them back to the ramp. Thanks for really gritting it out ladies! What a day and memories to have!

Well, we were supposed to have two boats out today but Mother Nature had other plans! We got to Vinegar and the boats were completely iced up and iced in. The guys had to work VERY hard to get them out. We hoped to maybe be able to bring them down to Spring Bar at least to fish but everything was slushed up. The boats were frozen up and we had to take them home to thaw out! Thank you for being so understanding ladies! We were able to get both groups rescheduled or taken care of to get on the water again:)  They also were able to see some bighorn sheep on the way back to town! Check out some pictures!

Hello fella!

Working on getting the second boat out!

Ice and slush, not good for the boats!

All iced up!
