It has been many years since I left a report here. A couple businesses and a couple kids later we are still fishing but not nearly as much. The closure of our favorite rivers due to the steelhead moratorium has us trying to remember other spots we have fished in the past at this time of the year. We stopped by Riffe lake last week on the way to a hike and saw that guys were doing pretty good. So we went there today to scratch that fishing itch. We fished bobber and shrimp about 4-5ft down. Action was consistent with a very wide range in the size of fish. And about a 50-50 split on landlocked coho and rainbow trout. We also fished a short leader with one small split shot and shrimp, like a free drifting set up. To feel the bites for fun and that was super productive as well. This is a great fishery for kids. Action is consistent to keep them excited and focused. The water is up high enough that you can use the rod holders on the walkway, though most of the time you were getting bit before you could put your rod in it.

Hey guys, good to see you again after several years, and congrats on the expanded family! Our son Michael got married last year so hopefully we'll have some grandkids soon to take fishing, can't wait! Hope to run into you guys some time again, the old fishing holes that we used to fish together are still producing fish, and I've discovered a few new places that are even better. Let me know if you want to get together and rip some lips! Take care and God bless.

Hey! Great to hear from you Alisha. Think you were pregnant last I remember...How long have we been around this site? My kids have gone from 0-15 seemingly overnight. Congrats on the family. Super cute pics!

Time does fly by especially now that we have kids! I just went back into my reports and it looks like we were posting reports before we were married! Pretty crazy, it’s been about 11 years!

Happy to see your report, and to see your children are following in the footsteps of becoming awesome fishers like you two. Fond memories of fishing together and our talk of Bigfoot! Tight lines and hope we can fish together again.
