Riggins, Idaho Little Salmon River Steelhead report for April 1st 2008
Ok get your rods and head out the Steelhead are on the move! My good friend and fishing partner for the last forty years gave me a great report yesterday. He fished from Rapid River up to Boulder Creek yesterday and said he had a great time. Landed 8 fish and lost at least that many.
He said the steelheads were still hitting very soft and it took him awhile to figure this out I had the same problem on Monday. Steelheads are notorious for hitting your lure and giving you the slightest indication that they have taken it. Right now for what ever reason this is even more so it should change soon as the become more aggressive the closer the get to spawning but if you feel something not quite right now and for the next couple of days I suggest that you set the hook.The report that he gave was there seemed to be more fish on the lower stretch of the river but he was able to hook fish up and down from Rapid River to Boulder Creek. The river was still way below its normal flows for this time of year but he too noticed the river rising through out the day.
With the weather report for the week say that temperatures will be rising so will the river and thing should really start picking up. Get your gear and get on the River this week end if you have a chance as I believe that this week end is going to be some of the best steelhead fishing we have seen all season.
