Rain and First Steelhead



Barret McCann and 12# hen


Barret McCann and his second steelhead of the day.  This 9 year old from Gig Harbor ended up catching his first steelhead and four for the day including a 17 pound buck.  His brother Carter also got in on the action landing 5 steelhead for the day.  A very special thanks to grandpa (Joe McCann) for taking his son Alex and grandsons Barret and Carter fishing. Fishing traditions are always remembered and this family has a great start. I will add more photos of these guys as soon as I get them unloaded.

Steelhead Fishing Really Good

On  good roll with large steelhead this year.  So far 7 at or above 20 pounds and 2 over 25 pounds. Seems to be a good number of large fish returning.  A few more mounts for Blackwater.







Looking forward to a little dryer weather. Kind of tired having wet sleeves all day. Thank good for front and rear forced air heating systems in the Hyde Drift boat. Makes a cold day quite comfortable.

Stay tuned for the announcement of ocean salmon season options.  We should get some word on optons in the next few weeks.
