This weekend should be good for guys with a drift boat to give winter Steelheading a whack. Wade anglers will want to exercise caution and stay up high in or near the " Flies Only" water where it is easier to wade. Mid and lower sections of river will need a few extra days to drain some more before wading will be comfortable.

I pulled a double header this last Sunday. In the A. M. I was on the lower PM river with friend John Robinson and then went to the ice for a bucket of gills. Those poor Blue Gills had to feel my frustrations from a slow mourning on the river. We didn't touch a fish on the river Sunday. Monday my friend Sean McDonald and I caught our limit of Bluegills along with a Crappy, 2 Bass, and a Pike. On Wednesday I went in the lower river plugging with a friend Chris Reins. We landed a nice buck Steelhead and had one other slap on a plug.
