Idaho Steelhead Fishing Report
Weekly Steelhead Fishing Report
Well according to the state wide fishing report I’m not the only one who was having trouble hooking into a steelhead over the weekend. The numbers were down state wide and I really did not expect anything different with the weather being the way it has been. When I left New Meadows Saturday morning it was -10 degrees and I fought ice in my guides for most of the morning.
I did go back down yesterday (Monday 3/31/2008) and was able to hook four fish on the Little Salmon I was fishing the lower end though near Rapid River. The fish were hitting so light that it was almost impossible to feel the strike. Once I realized what was going on I stated to hook into some fish. I’m still wondering just how many hits I missed yesterday but then that is pretty common as you all know the these fish will some times take your lure with out you ever knowing and then there are time when they nearly rip the pole from your hands.
I will not be making another trip for a few days as when I was fishing yesterday I slipped on a rock and I can hardly move this morning hope this heals up fast because I think that this week is the one we have been waiting for.
I have a good fishing partner who will be on the River today and he will be checking in so I’ll let you know how he does I’m thinking that he will hook into quite a few fish as the river was rising yesterday. I’ll try to keep you updated.
