Late Steelhead Report

[RAM1961]

I came back from a convention in Boise yesterday via Salmon. We got up above Challis and my wife pointed out the various fishermen on the water and asked me what I thought they were catching. I told her I wasn't sure this time of year until we passed a guy walking back up to his truck with a flyrod set up very similar to my steelhead/salmon flyrod I've used on the Rogue and Siletz rivers in OR. Then above Salmon I noticed several kick boats out (one of my favorite ways to fish), and again, several larger fly rods, so I told my wife it's either steelhead or chinooks if they make it up that far.

So how long does this still steelhead run last? It was quite warm yesterday coming thru - and being that it's only a 200 mile drive for me back down to Salmon....I may want to take a weekend before Christmas and do some exploring.

Thanks in advance.
