October 29th, 2007Headed upstream to try this gorgeous river that reportedly had salmon and steelhead.
I have previously tried to confirm their presence but to no avail.
Today the fall weather and the colors are amazing.
We arrive before the sun is above the ridges and get two hours in fishing a run that would make any steelheader drool.

It is flies only and two of us are firing away with a variety of skaters and streamers. Every cast I can imagine the big head rising out of the depths to take the fly.
Nice dream but no reality.
The golden glow as the sun came over the ridge was the religous.
We definitely achieved the zen of fishing but not the thrill of the catch. After 4 trips to the river, the absence of action is becoming a personal challenge.
Maybe the next time?

I share the same feeling Sal Monid! Ive put 5 or 6 trips in and havnt seen anything that remotely looks like a fish. Definately a beautiful River, with what seems to be great holes to fish. I love the headline man, Klickazip!!!!

Nice work Dave! Good to hear you busted out the fly rod. I need to tie you up one of my “skatin’ fools” by Joel LaFolllete. It’s a killer onthe D so it may work there.
