Helly Jigs,
I am a newbie to fishing in general and I am wanting to try steelhead fishing with the wife this year. I once tried about 3 years ago with some friends and we got skunked. I am not familiar with the whole salmon river area very well but I know we fished an area called shoup and deadwater.
With the numbers looking really good this fall, when could I expect the run to hit the Middle fork to North Fork area? I noticed you referenced the numbers on the damn but not sure how this relates to time they get to Salmon city.
I am hoping to make it sometime in october on the 1st to the 15th.
I am looking foward to trying again this year and hopfully we can land a big one this time. I live in Blackfoot but since I changed jobs I have not had contact with any steelhead fishermen at work yet. Thanks for any advice or information.
