Fishing Report

[Jerkbait1]

Two of us just got back from couple days fishing.   River was a little high/fast but we did pretty good on rainbows.  Not many wading opportunities drifted mainly from boat.  Fished between turner and riverton caught a few below Halls Bay which was a first for me.  Went down below hwy 160 bridge several miles smallmouth scattered in big water it seems.   If water drops more fishing should be real good.   Lots of people canoeing and enjoying river

Sounds like good times! See any skipjack herring chasing your baits in the higher water?

No skipjack chasing! Small trout were chasing! We found some very nice rainbow of various sizes.... 14-16 inches were largest!...and by the looks of them they have been eating well!!! Also some small colorful stream bred ! The river at 1300 cfs this late in the year makes me think there will be good water for the rest of the summer and better than usual opportunities to catch some nice bows! Our timing below 160 bridge chasing smallies and goggle eye could have been better....
