Here's a few steelhead from recent seasons - all released after a quick picture. Just FYI - if anyone is thinking about hiring Eric - I can recommend him 110%. You would be hard pressed to find someone else with the knowledge, expertise, ability to work with all skill levels and age groups, etc. as Eric has. A+!! Hope you enjoy the pics... Ted

PS: Ted - lost your number - go ahead and move the reel as best as possible. I'll be happy anyway you can move the reel.

Awesome fish! Good job!

Just like the show - I've never found Lake Trout this consistently, I hope this is a sign that they may be surviving better- they certainly fight as hard if not harder than steelhead - fish was CPR'd. If you haven't tried it, give Eric a call and take a trip - well worth it. It would be very interesting to see if anyone knew what the rate of natural reproduction was in the tributaries. If it is possible to become self sustaining/ a wild fishery - might be a good case for catch and release regulations?

[tuberculosismarinum]

35-40 degrees
wind 7-10 mph
tea stained water, up 12-18 inches
fished from 11-2:30pm
partly cloudy

Fish seemed hit both spawn and spinners equally well, met up with Chris, nice to meet you again - went 3-5 today with my personal best for 2006, beautiful hen (CPR'd - she's still out there for someone else to catch - if you do , please let her go - to beautiful to just catch once or twice. pretty cool, that hit on the swing - fish seemed to be in the fast water and the tailouts. Not many browns for me this year. Still don't do as well, as when I'm with Eric - go figure.
