Fishing the Salmon River

[noodle one]

Anyone do any steelhead fishing. I am thinking about making a trip up in a couple of weeks. I would like to see the water flow come down some, between 800 and 1200.

The fish of a thousand casts. I prefer fishing the Salmon River for Steelhead rather than dealing with the crowds. January is a pretty good month I am told. I have not fished there in winter per se. Mainly because of weather and snow. Fly fishing: Estaz patterns, Comets, Wool buggers work well. I have also had good luck with Mickey Finn's, when nothing else was working.

Thinking about making a trip down there soon. Done a little steelhead fishing in some smaller creeks with some success this season. Use mostly eggs patterns and trout beads

I center pin and use trout beads and pink worms or black fiies.

I fish it as much as I can for Steelies and salmon. Usually float fish with beads for steelies, but I break out the fly rod sometimes to.

Great fishery and action with steelhead will continue from now until early May in most cases. Use light floro leaders and small presentation when cold and as the water warms and the drop back start feed them MEAT!!
