If you head up there The WDFW is all over watching you with binoculars and waiting for you to get back to you truck to check your fish. We got checked 2 times today. They were looking for the radio tag things they put in the fishes head. and to measure your fish. My buddy forgot to put his parking pass in the windshield and got a 70 some dolor ticket. It was a fun day. These are a few fish we caught. The wildlife lady told us it is just starting to get good. Over the next few weeks she said it will only get better. She showed us a picture of an 18 lb. steel head she caught 2 days ago.

Wow. great pics
Thanks for posting. Plan on heading up there within the next few weeks.
Glad to hear the Gamies are keeping an eye on the river.
Last time I was there I encountered a lot of gear violations and poaching. I chased a quite a few guys that were poaching off of the river and let WDFW know.

That's a good thing ribka.  Everybody needs to do that.  Those are the people that get this fishery shut down for the rest of us abiders...........the only good thing about all the fishing traffic on the rivers.

You might want to consider posting pictures of wild steelhead in nets and out of water, and definately the pic of the bulltrout in the net. quite a fine there and you should remove those pics immediately.

Nice fish!

just an fyi but its illegal to take a wild steelhead out of the water statewide, let alone netting one.

How come the wdfw made use go to knot free nets then? So we don't hurt the fish we have to keep?
