People think I am lying when I say that the little purple micro out-fishes roe everytime out for silvers! Good job, had some rosy cheeks, almost like a steelhead.
Which jig did you get him on?
That's perrrdddy cool! :clap:
Me and Jeanna were just talking today while drifting the Siletz.. We were saying we'd have a better chance at a late coho than a steelhead up in the gorge. :lol: That river was barren of steel today.
What' the deal with winters on the Siletz? I've heard/seen a few nice fish come out, but all in all pretty slow. I have a buddy who's caught a few late summer fish in the last couple weeks, and only a couple winters. Never know what you're gonna catch in that river, I swear.
Couldn't hardly believe my eyes when I got this guy in-a Coho this late in the season? Got it on a Steelhead Stalkers microjig up in the gorge on the Siletz. Was hoping to get turned onto some fresh winter action but I'll have to keep waiting on that front...

Lol you might be waiting a while. That river was deadddddd. Crystal clear and not a fish in sight. Gotta say I wasn't impressed with it, having never fished it before, I much prefer smaller water...It just reminded me of the willamette through town here in Eugene. Was a nice boat ride? Kinda...
I've seen pictures from my dad's friend of some monster fish, and he said about 10 years ago they had numerous double digit days with 10-18 pounders..but...this year, I'm thinkin' that's not the case.
Uhm I'm horrible at remembering names lol. I can't remember where we put in and took out, haha Mike knows. I've never fished the siletz before...so I don't know the bank spots. Probably won't get to know them either, it's a long drive to learn a new river, and I didn't really like it, but, I'm basing that on a single trip so perhaps that's unfair. The drift we did had a ton of good looking salmon water so I might get up there for some salmon fishing this fall
I hear you about the long drive-but to axe the Siletz based on one skunking is a bit unfair. I felt the same way about the N. Santiam-still haven't caught anything there but I'm not done with that river. Anyway, better luck next time, whichever river you find yourself on
Holy smokes that's right:shock::shock: I was thinking about steelhead and completely forgot that springer you turned me on to. Thanks again for that outing. I hope to dance with some N. Santiam metal this summer. A few more springers would be very nice as well. Hope you're doing good Kodiak.Except that one springer!
