+ a bunch

So I went to the Siletz 2 more times. Tried spinners, spoons, salmon eggs. Nothing. I didn't see/hear any jumping/rolling steelhead. When I got tired, I decided to target trout. Caught bunch of small cutthroats (they gladly take spinners, eggs, nymphs). So my question is are there steelhead there? May be they don't get up the river in numbers yet? Or they are there but not active?

Anatoliy. I don't know how long you've read this board but it amazes me how much info you have received. Hope you are in sales. If you are I'm sure you are doing well.
If I knew anything about the Siletz I'd probably tell you.
I know I learned some stuff from this thread.

Ana-
PM me, are you busy tomorrow? I'll give ya boat ride...

Forgot to mention, I've got all gear, rods, bait covered. Can pick ya up in Philomath on my way over...

PM sent.

Have fun, gents. tight lines!

I hope you are on the river right now and finding fish. The Siletz, for those who don't know the river, has one unique boat drift called the Bull's Bag by some. You launch in the town of Siletz, do about a 3 mile drift to the head of tide water and take out at the next ramp in the town of Siletz. No shuttle required, it is just a few blocks walk back to the launch ramp. In the late 70's, when I fished there regularly, that drift in June always produced steelhead and the occasional chinook. Hiking into the gorge produced better later in the summer.

We were on the river and we did find fish!

Twitch is such a great guy! And he knows alooooooot about fish.
I'll let him tell the story. I will get some good sleep and will start working on the video report.

P.S. Twitch, thanks a lot one more time

Great Stuff!

Two snapshots to tease you

Sounds like Twitch abruptly put an end to Ana's steelhead virginity.
