Buck Hollow to the Mouth






Just spent three days floating from Buck Hollow to the Mouth in search of steel. Fishing was definitely slow on the upper end of the float, but by the time we got down river away things really started picking up. It seemed like the biggest concentrations of fish were from Lockit down. Dry lines during the low light hours and sink tips and leeches during the day produced fish. The fish hooked were some of the hottest steelhead you can imagine! Multiple jumps and line-ripping runs were the norm! Only one fish landed was of hatchery origin, the rest were wild--awesome! Although I didn't take an 'official' temperature, water temps were noticeably cooler than they were last week. Now is the time. Get out there!
