I'm headed to the Russian river to chase some of the few fresh steelies and salmon that came into the river They've bulldozed the entrance to let the fish in and the rain of course is helping. C'mon rain! Pour baby pour!!
It should be better in a couple weeks. By Christmas, we'll have mucho metalheads in the river!

Anyone care to give 'em a try tomorrow? Bring your kickboat and we'll drift the river.

By the way, the Smith River is up 3 feet and they're slaying big salmon RIGHT NOW. One guide said he had 11 hook-ups with 6 caught to 30 pounds.
Now that's fishin'.
