Hey fishnbuck. Yes steelhead are just sea run bows. I only put that disclaimer because I have had people jump on my case in previous years claiming I was keeping and not tagging far to many steelhead. Figured I'd get a jump on it this time and remove any confusion. In many other waters...
Ah no biggy I understand. I removed two garbage bags of beer cans etc. From one of my favorite spots on the Williamson before and it was clean the day before. I hate seeing trash out there as well.
And this is why I haven't frequented OFF for a while. Ppl are so quick to nit pick. First of all not one single bottle, can, piece of litter etc was left behind. Fishing was literally none stop action so water was consumed and the bottle often dropped in place in a mad scramble for the pole...
Well I delved into carp for the first time this year with sportmanlio and will be doing it again for sure. First day out we landed a total of 162 fish. Nothing monstrous but an absolute blast. Average fish when totaled weighed a little over 8lbs. Biggest of my four trips weighed in at 14lbs...
Sprague River Sapo. Yes I keep some to smoke and some to cook up for the family. There's a few older couples I take a few to each year also. I also let some go. The ones in the pictures were kept and eaten.
Well I broke my previous October record landing 35 bows from 23-28". It was a great fall. River lvls stayed higher then I had expected and the weather cooperated for the most part. Absolutely my favorite month of the year, hands down.
Went fishing with the wife yesterday and landed this nice chrome redband. Went for 3hrs with no bites then the pole doubled. Well worth the wait and a beautiful day.
