Quite a bit of snow in the mountains this year (especially compared to last year) and cold temps forecast for the next 10 days.  So, should get good flows and decent color for a while anyways.

Snuck out to a lesser known river Monday before work, holy crap there were guys everywhere.  Did manage to lose a steelhead and land a dark silver, but still feel a bit unsatisfied not being able to move around much due to the crowds...

If it is the river that I am thinking of, I quit fishing it a few years ago because of the crowds, theft and garbage,  Now I have to drive 1-3 1/2 hours to fish instead of 10 minutes.   :bash:

My brother and I took his 13 year old boy out on the 26th and the boy hooked his first steelhead!! Chrome bright 12 lb hen. It was pretty Awsome to watch him fight it for a good 7 or 8 minutes, rolling around and jumping and eventually getting the privilege to net it for him. Headen out New Years morning for hopefully some more action.

Didn't have time for measurements, for the sake of the fish, but it was a solid 20, no question. I don't like throwing that number around loosely, either.
