Post by: rotty33 on January 04, 2012, 10:29:12 AM

Anyone fished here recently? Thinking about trying it next week. Any tips on where I should start? Just looking for some general direction here. Haven't fished it before.

I fish there every Tuesday. They are up there, Just had a 9 fish day. Lots of fish, Just gotta use the right stuff :tup: Still lots of summers but winters are moving in. most caught are nats. When are you heading there? Good places on the river are pretty much everywhere, start just outside of starbuck and work your way up

The steelhead that swim in the Tucannon as with the rest of our rivers in the Snake river system are summer run some just move in from the snake a bit later than others! Its a great little river to fish! Good luck

rotty it is suitable for jig and bobber, fly rod. My favorite way to fish it is just drift.
