Man, that'll learn me to turn "Email Notification" on!

Take it to email, boyz and girlz!

Sorry parker... didn't mean to hijack your thread. Nice fish.

Hey Parker,
You every get down here to fish the Kalama. I get out there quite a bit. Trade some trip down the kalama for a trip down the Lewis. Know the Kalama, don't know the Lewis (yet). Have all summer to try that one on (teacher).

Beautiful fish man, I cannot wait for our summer runs to start over here in Michigan. Gotta love the aerial displays.

Well I'm about tired of the Springers and have been trying pretty hard for the summer fish and only catching the occassional fish... Slow but of the 13 summers we've hooked this year with the first on March 6th, 3 have been 16 lbs and the one I busted Parkers 1141 on the hookset was a toad 18-20... I hope these big fish last and they're not just the early 3 salts we get in late April and first couple weeks of May....

I'm looking forward to the 20 fish days but with only 38 pints of eggs left, things might get tight.... These Springers need to start maturing quickly so I can get some more good eggs....

As for the lewis right now, I've never seen such a zoo... The word is out for the springers... There were 49 boats in the meathole monday morning and 23 at the Johnson Creek Flats along with 13 at the Happa Swirl.... We're still catching limits but a lot of people are going home empty handed....

Add in the 20 or so pints of eggs I have, Stlhdr1, and I think we can manage to get you through Ok until the fall fish arrive to replenish the stock.

I just don't think you've really been trying too hard for the summers..........too much springer on your brain.

Once you tune yourself to the steelhead frequency, they'll be sorry you did.

Going by your avatar, steelhdr1, I assume sandshrimp are not on the menu as an alternative to roe. If you run out of eggs though I heared that what-nots are the hot ticket!

You are mistaken, JTD. You use the what-nots in *addition* to your eggs, not as an *alternative* to eggs.

I'm not too sure how well a lonely what-not would work for a springer, and I'm almost positive it wouldn't work for a steelhead.

Although Stlhdr1 might not publically admit it, I have personally witnessed him hooking/catching fish on just a sandshrimp! No eggs involved! Not often, but it does, and can happen.

PS. We have stopped using what-nots for springers. We're back to the same-olds-same-olds now.

Heck I'll bang Springers on whatever they want to bite... I taken them on kwikies, herring, prawns, shrimp alone, eggs/shrimp, eggs/sardine, eggs/sardine/shrimp, eggs/crawdad tails... You name it I've taken them on it this year.

I know that 38 jars of eggs will make it through the fall.. This summer we don't have to fish all eggs on the summer fish we can use some of the ooooh-ahhhhs.....
Keith

ooooh-ahhhhs are fun!

Here's the movie from last year to get you all excited about summer run steelheading.

Be sure to say your "Oooooh's" and "Ahhhhs" as you watch this film!

Summer Run Steelhead Movie

Hey Stlhdr1 - I'll bring down the video camera tomorrow so we can film some springer take downs! Maybe make another movie!

Note to self-
1. Check out ooohhhh-ahhhhh's and same-old same-olds.... maybe ask at Sportco next shopping trip when their next shipment will be.

2. PM Parker for maps and GPS cooridinates for every spot he has ever fished before heading anywhere.

3. Document and plan fishing trips to every spot mentioned on this website by anyone. See step 2.

I fished the Kalama yeserday. I would not call it hot. About one fish per boat is what I saw.

Next thing you know, you'll be floating a jig.

Oh, the horror....................

Stlhdr1 and Parker using training wheels and metal bugs on the Lewis? LOL! We'll be sure to call you DanS, the day that it does happen!

Parker:

Great video footage...it's a "keeper".

Now, next winter when your freezing your arse off play that and remember the "warm days".

Gonna head down south for some fishing this weekend, too. Haven't decided where yet, but I'm sure if I spend some time digging around I'll find somewhere to toss a line from the bank.

It probably wouldn't kill you, you know. It DOES make Keith a little agitated every time I reach for that float rod though.
