The steelhead fishing has been great. So great, that even when we have a slow day and only land a few it seems slow. We’re getting spoiled I guess but loving it.
While the flies only section is chuck-full of fish it is getting clear. The middle river has less fish but is still flowing with perfectly stained water. We could use a break from the pounding sun, looks like we might get some weather this weekend.
Eggs of course but as the water has cleared natural nymphs have accounted for many fish.
Fabio is our friend and customer from Brazil that is working for a while here in Michigan, you might remember a post back in November of Fabio with several nice steelhead and even a coho. He just sent an email and pictures explaining that it had been over three months with no fishing. Fabio is used to fishing almost every weekend when home, where it is much warmer than Michigan in March.
He has a trip scheduled for steelhead later this month but needed something sooner, so he headed to Florida for the weekend and fished with guide Art Ferguson.
Fabio sent about a dozen pictures and says the largest bass of the weekend was nine pounds.
The second in our best of series, some of the nicer fish we’ve put in the boat during 2010. One of the lake run browns was from New Year’s Eve 2009, but close enough. Next up in our best of series, the Best Steve Martinez Pictures of 2010.
