Report

Bill Monroe wrote in the Oregonian this morning that a guide recently reported 90 strikes and 54 Steelhead landed in a day on the Deschutes River. I would say that these numbers are over exaggerated estimates. The river doesn't need this kind of sensationalism. It is already crowded enough.

It's possible....All you have to do is believe!!! :lol:

Who was the guide???

Sensationalism......thanks for the report!!! Maybe I'll have to haul the boat up for a trip! :lol:

Actually.....my brother-in-law fishes a tributary to the Columbia upstream of the Deschutes and frequently has 18-20 steelhead days.....One guy.....fishing from the bank.....Can a guide put clients on 54 fish in one day??? Ya, the right guide with the right clients......I do believe that!

It always seems that the spots where I'm not at are on fire! I had a good day yesterday at finding fish, now I just got to get good at not spooking them. These low water steelies seem to have movement radar in high alert.

Mad Dog, Looks like you bit. You are welcome for the report, but no secret as it was in the largest newspaper in the state. Good luck. Hope you catch 100.

My biggest problem with a story like this is that a guide could get two clients together in a boat that could actually hook 54 fish!!! :lol:

Or that Bill Monroe can actually report the story correctly!!! 5 for 9.....54 for 90......:lol:

What's the problem Abel??? Not catching enough fish this summer! :think: :lol:

If I remember the report correctly he mentions that Grant McOmie was filming a piece for his Outdoors segments on the news. I know the McOmie's and they seem to always be successful when they are with a guide. I'll be stopping there on my way back from Utah in a few days and will try my luck. Last year at this time I was there and it seemed that everyone I saw had a bent rod and I know they were not all snags. I landed two fish in an hour but they weren't steelhead. One was a 18 inch RedSide and the other was a bass.

if you think the river is already to crowded, why did you start another thread about it??

 

[Mad dog]

This thread is useless without pic's!!! :lol:

i believe it, i saw a guy pulling a drifter out of the deschutes the other day, and the steelhead were stacked in his truck like cord wood
