[signature] Re: [osprey02] ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!! - MONTANA_MAN - 06-02-2010 osprey02, beautiful fish! How far up on the Clearwater? Below or above Orofino? [signature] Re: [osprey02] ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!! - Flydragger - 06-02-2010 Nice job. I'm curious...do these fish run up the So CW? It's one of my fav fly rod steelhead spots but never considered the Salmon.... Thanks [signature] Re: [chrome_junky] ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!! - sneekee_1 - 06-02-2010 Do you think they will be in Ellis when it opens? [signature] Re: [sneekee_1] ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!! - chrome_junky - 06-02-2010 i dont think they will be there right on the 12th there might be a few in the system but it will be few and far inbetween but i think a week or 2 after there should be some fish. [signature] Re: [Flydragger] ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!! - osprey02 - 06-02-2010 The South Fork of the Clearwater has fish in it well up past Golden! It's running high and Muddy may be tough to drift with a fly rod although I'm sure some are! We caught 3 and hooked more in the Miller hole right below where the South fork dumps in to the mainstream of the Clearwater! We were fishing the seam between the muddy and clearer water! When the sun was out the fish would go try to hide in the muddier colder water, about a 3 degree diff in temp. I'll be on the Lochsa Fly rod in hand this weekend! I know the fish are well above Lowell, because We landed two Wilds at Lowell last Saturday Morning! One 10lb and one over 15lbs The wife and I banked/boated 7 this last weekend and lost at least that many! Even ate our first freebie Jack Sunday night! I wish I didn't have to work today or the rest of this week! I'd be there now! [signature] Re: [osprey02] ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!! - Flydragger - 06-02-2010 I know the hole. I hunt whitetails in Stites (private prop, 2 on the wall and 1 in transit) and fish that area for SH as part of my hunt trip. You're doing well... hope your season continues strong! Thanks [signature]
