Pine Tree to the Mouth

The time is now.  Steelhead are in the river from the Mouth all the way up to Warm Springs.  I just got home from a 4 day Pine Tree to the Mouth float with an outstanding couple from the Spokane area.  We endured some hurricane like winds, but had a blast anyway.  Jon set up a great camp and kept us fed like kings.  Nikki and Mark both landed their first steelhead ever plus a few more for good measure.  Mark even scored a bonus Chinook at Wagonblast on the last night of the trip.  It seems like the water clarity down low is still a little off, but the fish aren't minding--they can see just fine.  Cool, damp weather is in the forecast...perfect for steelhead fishing.  Cheers.
