Well it has been a GREAT Tournament! With over 200 fish reeled in and netted this year it has kept us all Busy! We were seeing fish caught right up to the last day and thankfully the weather was a little less challenging than last year. The Leaderboard didn’t change the last weekend as there was mostly wild fish caught and they were sure some beautiful Fish!!
MOST FISH
1st Place Julia Sherman! with 4 Fish and 31″ Hatchery inches. Congrats Julia! Although it was Julia’s first year fishing the tournament she is not new to steelhead fishing. She was very focused on that rod and it paid off! Julia fished with Rich and Andrew.

2nd Place Beth Fults! with 4 Fish and 25″ Hatchery inches. Congrats Beth! This was Beth’s 6th WWB and she had never landed an Idaho Steelhead until this year! Beth was also fishing with Rich and Andrew at Vinegar Creek on the same day as Julia those 8 fish were more than half the Steelhead count on the boat that day with a total of 13 Steelhead, 130.5 Hatchery inches being landed to give that boat the “MOST STEELHEAD ON A BOAT” WIN! Alex Grouba had 2 wild fish, Katlynn Seely had 1 wild 1 hatchery, and Erin Adolphsen had one hatchery. That was almost double the amount of fish that won last year.
