Sounds good! Funny, my husband doesn't like fishing either. Went with me once and never again, haha. It's either just me or me and my cousin, trying things we learn from YouTube, probably looking like complete rookies to anyone who floats by. Hopefully you don't mind looking like a part of our...

Hehe just kidding! That's awesome-- if you're ever short a fishing buddy on a weekend, you can PM me! My cousin and I have gotten locked in and stranded out there by Faraday at North Fork. Good times. [emoji52] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone! Now to see if I can do it again on my own... Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On March 5, 2016, I caught my first steelhead ever! My cousin and I had a blast on a guided trip with Tanner. After a failed attempt the previous weekend due to weather, we tried again this weekend. Weather forecast was not looking good-- gale warning and 90% rain, but we WENT FOR IT. Turned out...

Awesome! Are you willing to share the location? :D

Update: Booked with Tanner! Wish us luck! I'd be so thrilled if I could catch just 1... :)

Thanks all! We've had one booked, but they told us today that they haven't had much success lately (they only fish the Sandy and are unfamiliar of the more coastal rivers-- which is why I originally started this thread). They said they've gone a few days with 0 catches, so they understand if we...

Gotcha, that makes sense. Sorry I haven't gone on a guided trip before, so I thought you book a trip based off a specific location. Still new to all this! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks pinstriper, but unfortunately we have 3 in our party. :frown:

Hey everyone, I'm planning to go on a guided trip this weekend! Do any of yall have recommendations as to which river to hit up? I've never fished for steelhead before, and just want to see what it's all about with a guide to show me how it's done. :) So far, I've been looking at the Sandy...

I am going to try these exact tips next time I go!

Thanks! So do you mean the saltwater degrades the hooks? That is a bit of a relief then. Like I mentioned, losing gear sucks but I'm way more bummed imagining all my line and hooks down there underwater. :( Darn... That's what I feared. Yeah, the second day we found ourselves retrieving much...

Hello, I've stalked this forum a lot for the last several months, and thought I'd make a post. I'm still very new to fishing... I live in Portland and have been trying stocked trout lakes nearby (Hagg, North Fork, Trillium) with relatively low success. I decided to try jetty fishing this weekend...
