Feburary 17 2010 Steelhead Report Posted 17 Feb 2010 IN: General BY mhadmin
Note: this buck had some battle scars with the seals on the shoulder and a good chunk off the tail If you are looking for a spanking, this is the time! Yesterday and day before, I had my %#@ handed to me by a couple of mean bucks! I was drifting the mid river with my trusty pals Trevor and Paul, and threw in (and I mean a really bad cast) a black cone head, black with cerise fly into the shallow tail out and WHAMMO! This buck tugged the line so hard I got my knuckles busted! Yep, after so many years of fishing in the chuck, getting your knuckles hit with the metal handle of a Hatch 7plus is GOOD PAIN!
The river has been slowly coming up, with the occasional downpour and mild weather has been good for fish movement and aggressive behavior. Don’t get me wrong, the numbers of fish has been so so, but 2 fish days on the fly is not a bad day. I think this is due to some angler pressure on the river and plus the seals have been sighted in the river! I hear March is “THE” month to be here and if you have the itch, give Roger Baker a call at 604-420-7197!
