I got a call and had the chance to take two guys out for a late winter/early summer steelhead trip, river was 5.5' and deep green color, we lanuched at Twin Bridges and headed for Mill Park take out, right of the bat we started hooking and releasing the Palmer Creek fin clipped steelhead the LVH club feed and took care of. For the whole ten mile float, we hooked and released smotls, if those little guys werent taken our bait, they were jumping all around the boat, other boaters also comemted on the smolts also. you guys did a good job feeding and getting them into the river, as for the fish score, we hooked and released three native steelhead, one was huge, close to 18 lbs, it was a wet and cool day, but the guys had a good time.  As long as we have a wet spring and the river stays up, any one who wants to book a steelhead trip, just call, the Siletz Summer Steelhead and Spring Chinook are just around the corner. Fish ON!
