S.F Stilly,summer run
« on: July 16, 2009, 09:44:58 PM »
Anybody fish the s.f stilly above granite? I used too but the last couple of years it has dropped off to pretty much nothing. I figure the ladder is plugged with logs and rocks fish cannot get up there now. I  used to slay them up there all the back to 1980 til 2004,Just wondering if  anybody had any ideas? Ive caught a couple big kings up there in the past 20,30 lbscaught and released steelhead up to 20 lbs.dollys 6lbs anyway it aint like it used too bee!! :dunno:

humpies get up there without any trouble.
the biggest problem up there is a lack of fish IMO.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

seems like just about every river has gone into a nosedive sometime in the past 5 years when it comes to steelhead.  even the "good" rivers have been pretty marginal at best.  i only caught 19 steelhead this past winter(mostly natives, i think i only had 6 fish on my punch card), when in a "normal" year i probably would have caught closer to 60.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun
