Great trip on the Salmon River

[noodle one]

Well, I got back from my float trip on the Salmon river . We had 18 hook ups and landed ten. One small brown and nine steelhead. Most were 5 to 8 lbs.. My brother iinlaw got one steelhead of 30"in., 9 or 10 lbs. I got lucky and hooked into one and landed that was over 30"in and was10lbs. or better. If you like to fish and want to have a great day on the water you may want to give a float trip a try.

Did you do this through an outfitter/guide? If so, was it expensive?

Randy Jones is a great guide to fish with, know the river very well

Virgil,

I sent you a PM message. If I can be of any more help, let me know

Nice report, Noodle.. Sounds like you had a great day.

I assume you were fishing your center pin,,,What baits/lures were they hitting ?

I drove across the Rt 81 bridge about 1:00 PM Sunday and saw a drift boat just downstream of the bridge fishing...

Could that have been you ?

We fished on Tue the 27th. and yes I was useing my center pin. We were useing beads for bait. We fished the upper river down to Rt 28A bridge. The river is full of fish. We saw a lot of fish on beds. I wish that I lived closer to the river so I could fish it more offen. From my door to where I fish is 125 miles one way and at my age I hate the drive up and back for a few hours of fishing. The drive up isn't bad ,but the trip home is what gets to me when I have to make it all alone. I live only an half of hour from the West branch Delaware and have some great trout fishing and catch some nice browns and rainbows. I guess that I can't have it both ways.

you guys are killing me, I just cancelled a trip a little later in the spring due to the high fuel costs, and I have a new switch rod I want to try out.................
