Fishing is good on the Wenatchee River now, and also the Columbia is fishing really good using shrimp in Pautzkes cure and marinated in Nectar. On the Wenatchee, we are using our tried-and-true cold water jigs that have a little slower action and cold water steelhead can’t resist them as we got nine the other day in a half-day fishing.

Fishing is good — a little chilly, but book a trip and catch some fish! We are offering cold weather specials this time of year also. See you on the water!

Always down for a last minute steelheading adventure, I grabbed my Fetha Styx fishing rods, packed a cooler with beer and hopped in my car for a trip inland to fish the Clearwater River in Idaho with some old friends. As the hatchery fish seemed to move up river and numbers reported in the rivers down, the crew didn’t let that deter them from fishing hard and having a great time. While we didn’t boat a large number of fish, collectively we landed some beauties. Take a look and let me know what you think of the video.

A big shout out to my good friend Chris Orwig (in my opinion one the best Montana fly fishing guides) for making the trip and dropping some local and steelheading knowledge on me.  I always learn a bunch when I hit the river with this crew, and this trip was no different.

Check out some of the Fly-Fishing Rods and Steelhead gear rods I brought along with me.  Stay tuned for the next series of posts with a full write up and a new project I was inspired to do after the trip.

Thanks to EYEini for helping put the final touches on this.
