Well it took me a bit to post this report because of login issues, but I have to say that last Thursday, October 6th was an insane day of steelhead fishing on the Snake River behind Ice Harbor Dam. Chris Erlicher and I ended up getting a limit of hatchery fish and we had an incredible 13 take downs in 7 hours. I also lost the biggest steelhead of my life when my #2 Gammi hook broke on me. That day almost everyone caught fish. though since a 65 point swing in the barometric pressure down there made Saturday the 8th a bust fishing day with no fish caught., Still the fishing can be awesome if conditions are right. I won't go if the barometer reads below 29.60 or above 30.20 pounds of pressure. I can't wait til the bulk of the B run monster steelies arrive! My recent cateract surgery allows me to see my "Take downs" so life is good again. One little note (Chris nicknamed me "Swing and a miss Miester" after I missed 6 solid take downs thursday! Lol Photo 1 is of Chris's biggest Snake river steelie (over 20 lbs) this year.. Jiggy

I have a serious affiction known as "Steelhead addiction!" and the only cure is to be on the water every chance I get! Lol ( Is anyone else suffering from this too?) Jiggy

Nice fish Jiggy, replied to your other report but it got messed up and can't see it anymore? I'll be heading down to Ice Harbor with my coworker tomorrow morning to try it out.
