Well I figure by Wednesday, I should be able to get up the mountain to my fishing grounds. I am hopefull that the fish have arrived in the last week or so, and they will be available for taking pictures. In the meantime, Amanda and I, have constructed an eight foot high snow ramp.

 Here is a little video of run of those runs down the ramp.

                  Hope all had a great Christmas and are planning a good New Years Eve. Hopefully the new year will bring more fish to Alaska, and the Northwest. Also we need to come together as a Steelhead community of fisherman, and put a halt to the radical environmentalist and the conservationist, that are trying to incorporate an all Native population to the local rivers. In turn this will put a stop to any retaining of fish, and it will in the long run, put a stop to all fishing with baits and anything else they can come up with to stop us from fishing the great Northwest Steelhead. I have been told by the Hatchery workers at Eagle Creek, that this may be the last year that Steelhead are trapped and raised for return to this very productive creek. This will only give me about 4 more years of decent fishing, before the creek becomes all Native Steelhead, of which I catch about 20 a year. That  would not be good if that was all that was available. Anyway, I am rambling on, so enjoy the small video, and keep in mind about the Steelhead fishing. I should be out next week on the creek, hopefully with some good news.

Good luck out there.

Well they said the snow was over, and now they say, another 3" on the way before Christmas. So there is no way to get to the fishing designation right now, so I have been having fun in the snow with Amanda and the dogs. Here are some pics from our back yard, and also a video of our snowman. We hollowed him out and put lights inside for effect. It looks real good in person, the video is a little grainy. Also he is singing his own personal song.

I have plenty

Good luck out there

Well I don't know what to say. The snow in the last five days, has caught me off guard. We have about 2' on the ground, and the freezing rain is just starting up. We are expecting to get around 1" of ice, then another 4 to 5" of new snow for the next couple of days. I don't know if the ability to drive will there or not for the next 5 days. So that is the report  from here. Here are a couple of pics of the snow, the dogs, and Amanda.

I will go fishing as soon as I can get there.

Good luck out there.

    I have been to the creek now twice since the last posting, and the fishing is getting better, ( for the fish). I have been into 6 fish now, and as you will see, there is absolutely no pictures. I have had my hands on two of them, but they squirmed away, no thanks to Indy. She released two on her own, by jumping to soon. It has been awhile since she has been able to get ahold of a good fish, so she is has a bit of buck fever. She will calm down as the season progresses. Hope to have some pics for you tomorrow. It has begun to snow here, so the conditions will dictate this week, wether I will be able to get down to the creek. Hope it's not to bad. The snow will not stop me, but the ice will put the breaks on the driving.

Good luck out there.

I had the pleasure of fishing with a nice Gentlemen from Utah yesterday.  The fishing was better than I expected. I am used to seeing very little to nothing this time of year, but I was surprised to see about 6 fish. I believe they were all Summer fish from the Clackamas River, but they were Steelhead, and I was able to get into a couple, but only one decided to show himself to the camera. Here are the pics from the day. I am hoping the fishing will improve from here, and I will have daily updates again. (Donny!).

Good luck out there
