Just got back, fished three days.  first day was extremely cold. but caught over 20 steelhead. all in the 12-14 lb range!!!!! one fish was 16-18 lbs. next day the upper river around Kooskie was spitting lots of ice. but we still fished. very comical. still boated 3 fish.  third day we thought the river would be better still spitting ice water had cooled again so steelhead were acting like steelhead. still boated 5 fish.  First day was drifting eggs from a jet boat the last two were in the upper river in a driftboat with diver and bait.  Great time, love that river!!!! Good luck.

Well I'm sitting at work missing all the fun we had on the river :'( Thursday the four of us caught 18- 20 fish with 8 of them being keeper. Friday started slow but picked up with us still catching around 15 fish but only 4 keepers :'( Saturday the weather was nice and the river was packed so we pretty much just drank beer and had a nice relaxing day.
