donman wrote:Scott, when I was looking at the Lyre, I was totally thinking of you. I was there last year when it was blown out, but during the summer, it is very low and walkable all the way to the Lyre River Falls which is about 2 miles. Fish can't go any further than that. So that means in that two miles there has to be some summer runs and eventually Kings and Coho. Let's make some plans soon to get out there and hit these on a two day trip, what do you say?
Going to start doing some research and planning for this. We will get this going soon...jsut need some darn rain

July 21 2010 Notellum River; Worked jigs all morning with only 1 missed takedown by my son, I put on a spoon and this Dark Buck slammed it. I believe this has GOT to be the first Summer Steelie in the river. I released him but sure did thank him for the battle.

Maybe. But both fish were caught on a rvrfshr. And I will add, both fish were caught on the very first cast.

Thanks Bentrod and Salmonslayer117. Steelhead are so easy to catch. I mean they just sit at the bottom of the river with their mouths wide open like a yawning hippo.
You can get them to bite anything.

I was hoping I would open this thread and not see Jens holding another steelie.
Congrats Jens
