Just had the luxory of a quiet day on the Kalama River. It was a cold rainy day, the precipitation flirted with snow for a time. Well thats winter steelheading. Finally we got some rain, and the river has rose about 2 feet since monday/tuesday. There is perfect steelhead green water with about 3 and a half foot of visibility. Started up in the canyon the run just below 1000 foot mark, and worked each run/seam with pink/sherbert jigs, bobber and eggs, and an occasional spinner. Ended up landing one winter run on bobber and eggs thats been waiting to come in for about 3 weeks or so based on its color. Lost another one a jig, just about the same quality. At least the fish are starting to show and should only get better. The natives really start well here in a couple weeks, and after this weather system moves through the river will be in great shape for at least another week. Has anyone else been hitting fish lately?
