February 4 Steelhead Report Posted 4 Feb 2010 IN: General BY mhadmin
 Well, what a week! I must say fishing has been up and down due to fluctuating water levels and seals. Yup! You read right! SEALS!! These pests are getting up river and having a chow fest on the majestic fish during the high tides. Last week there was a 19ft tide in the bay and along with it seals and fish came into the river system. But, do not despair! Fishing has been great with reports of 14 fish hooked on one day but only 2 on the next day. Bait and gear fishing has been doing well but the fish are also pretty grabby with the fly as well.
I was fortunate to be out yesterday, during very low water conditions and managed to hook a chrome beauty behind another angler using bait. I think under certain water levels and conditions, swinging a fly in the Yakoun can be more productive than drift fishing with bait and gear! As for the rest of the day, bait = 5 fish and 1 nice trout while fly = 2 hook ups! Overall, not a bad day! Considering we got to the river around noon and left at 3pm!
The week’s weather report seems to be dry and I think fishing will taper off until we get another precipitation in the forecast!
We are fully booked till mid February and if you are interested in coming to participate in the Olympic event called the “wader shuffle” or “chase the chrome bar” give Roger Baker a call at the office to get a fishing report!
