This one was great, Garth’s friend Jason was fish on so I scooped his fish, snapped a quick shot for him and ran because Garth was on too for doubles. Garth got his fish in fine then at the last minute the fish ran for a big bunch of wood on the bank and almost managed to break the line so I scooped his tail quick! Way to go Garth Fish On Buddy!

WOW! Now that was Awesome! Weeks like these make me wish steelhead season would never close. With the temps rising, some precip and the melting of lowland snow the water is still a bit higher than average which has lent to upstream push of our fish. The water for that matter though is significantly faster, greener below the Twisp River but still very calm and clear above that. As well the dreaded salmon snot is plaguing anglers down river too.

I have spent most time from about the downtown Twisp area to Winthrop and everywhere in between. Fish are picking up stones again, the week started with a preference toward goldens and ended leaning heavily towards the peacock stone. Water is still pretty slow so I’m rigging about 1.25 times water depth to my indicator (trying to touch bottom every now and then).

I wanted to give a shout out to Garth and his first steelhead he, Jason and I had an incredible couple of days. Garths first steel came in a doubles session between him and Jason and almost escaped in a bush at the last second. I have feel blessed this season for getting to meet so many great folks and to have had such a good time.
