Just looked at the river at 2 o'clock at Lickman Road. Conditions are not the greatest with visibility in the 14 inch range. May go out and poke around for the last two hours of daylight, if nothing else maybe find a couple of FA's drennan floats in a log jam.

Sure nice to be only 5 minutes from the river.

Do you think that the Upper is in a bit better shape??? It was yesterday!!

I would think so but it is close to 13 degrees out and I see the snow line is above the mountain tops. No rain for most of the day though, if it would hold off tonight it should be ok in the am.

Have pro cured up some more prawn tails, then I am going out as soon as they colour up. Even with the colour of the water now a steelhead will see it or smell it if it goes by him close enough.

Chris, do you use raw prawns with the shell still on or those you see in shrimp rings with just the tail on or some other way. Thanks. I usually just use those big shrimp that are ready to be eaten.

Yes the prawn tails just with the tail on, just bought 2 packs for $12.99 at Safeway. Around 65 to 70 pieces per package.

if ya wanna get a lil crazy... i use the bigger tiger prawn tails, natural, but boiled for 30 secs in salted water. (coarse salt). i cut em in the middle just above where the shell ends , eat the end and save the tail, and i'll usually do up a dozen for a day. I stick em in jars with a generous helping of pro cures prawn oil. when i rig em i put a tiny bead and a small spin n glo above the prawn. all i can say is ..... deadly in any steelhead river i've used it

I went out to for the first time ever steelheading today, Of coarse by my self. I went to a local river and it the river looked to be in good condition so i started chucking everything i had and from spoons to roe to jigs. noting . so this guy shows up and says he got a nice 6 pound wild on a bubble gum worm down stream were i was fishing ,  then i thought to my why aren't i using a pink worm . So used it for a bit  and had no luck so i decide to pack up and try to my first steel another day. Like tomorrow

BeakoBeGone... I just got in the door from walking the dog and to answer Big Steel's question - YES, it is coming down in sheets here in Sardis and it is really warm.
