Great past few days!! We may be starting to wind down to the end but hasn’t slowed anyone down we’ve had a lot of boats out every day! Steelhead and good times were caught, of course. Which reminds me, don’t forget about Fish Dance the awards ceremony on the 16th…at 7PM at Seven Devils! A couple Biggest Fish leader changes through the weekend but no changes to our Most Fish. Ladies have caught more than one fish but has been a hatchery and a wild, so without being able to measure the wild is limiting those hatchery measurements! The fishing did pick up a little with the change in weather. On Thursday 3/7, Casual Merritt from Andrea Yoakum’s group reeled …

Well, the snow has finally given us a breather and we have had a bit warmer weather, making the river road much easier. Some sunshine has graced us too! This weekend wasn’t quite as exciting as before for fish caught, the biting slowed down a bit. The ladies perseverance though results in steelhead still in the boat, as well as some trash fish. Karlene Madsen’s group on Saturday really persevered with 7 fish! We did have a leader board change on Sunday with Kaitlyn Kyro from Ginnie Nicholson’s boat landing 3 Hatchery steelhead. She is now in 2nd Place Most Fish with 76.5 Hatchery inches! Congratulations Kaitlyn, way to get it done! They saw a second bobcat on Sunday too …

What a weekend we had, a lot of boats out every day and big fish with big lead changes! Kicking Friday 2/22 off with Dawn Christian’s boat, bringing 3 nice steelhead in! Dawn landed a 32″ Hatchery which also lands her in 4th place Biggest Fish! Dusty Preece’s Team, Running Upstream, had a fun on the water and just one steelhead but it was a whopper! 36″ Hatchery Steelhead for Dusty which slides her into 1st Place Biggest Fish!! Our other boats out caught some wild fish and some trash fish! We started having the snow storms move in Saturday and Sunday, so our fishing was a bit slower for the steelhead, But Glenna McClure’s boat found a nice honey …

We had just one boat out on the 19th, Karen Owen’s group. They dealt with an all out blizzard most of the day upriver but still managed to get some steelhead hooked! Thanks for sticking with it ladies, congrats on the catches!   The 21st, we had 3 boats out upriver. Jamie Louck’s group had a really fun day on the river and caught a couple steelhead too! Jennifer Tripp’s boat had a good fishing day, reeled in a couple wild fish and couple hatchery fish! They also saw something we don’t get to see every day on the river, a lion down on the river! Way cool, although no one was able to snap a picture, dangit! Laurie Anglen’s crew the …

The weather has continued to be very unpredictable but dang, we have been catching fish, ladies! Ya’ll have been determined and it is so fun to see! Leader board changes and new leaders every day. For the ladies that spent Valentine’s day on the river was a good one…..Forgive them significant others 😉 Wanda Clagg’s group reeled in 5 steelhead for the day, Wanda had two of those and it puts her into 2nd Place Most Fish!   Brenna Brown’s all caught steelhead! Brenna and Courtney’s actually landed them on our leaderboard too! Brenna is in 4th Place for Most Fish and Courtney is in a tie for 4th Place Biggest Fish! This day was extra special for these ladies, they …

This weather! Wow. One day warm and beautiful the next we wake up to a foot of snow! All the ladies are in such great spirits though, not slowing them down one bit! Oh and we have been catching some fish! On 2/9 over in Hells Canyon, Kandie Malone on her second cast in the first drift caught her a 27.5″ Steelhead which at the time put her into 4th place! She caught this steelhead using the custom rod by Brian DeMond that she was the lucky winner of last year in our raffle we did. She said it was her lucky pole and that is for sure, she had not even fished with it yet and got a beautiful …
