FUN Salmon River drift boat guides Steelhead fishing Story. – You Never Know!

Sometimes finding a pod of steelhead is only a fishing foot step down the Salmon River. Or the next fishing hole around the bend on the Salmon River guides drift boat. Well,  today we took that one step. We Steelhead fished that next hole around the bend on “The Salmon River drift boat where Memories are Made.”

“Fish ON” were the first words Al shouted after his first cast of the morning off the drift boat. Then another and another. Long story short, Al by himself played with a BUNCH of Salmon River drift boat Steelhead today and one small Brown Trout. We got lucky and found a pod of mostly dime bright Steelhead. I kept complaining that I could not get any rest today! That every time I’d just get comfortable in my drift boat chair, I’d have to get up to try to net his next fish. Darn, I hate when those Steelhead are stacked up like that. Can’t a drift boat fishing guide get any rest around here? I’m going where there are not so many Steelhead next time. That annoying sound of the drag screaming all day long really started to bother me after awhile. To top it off, one of those steelhead splashed me and got my hair all wet!

Al told me he had been Steelhead fishing the Salmon River since 78. And that he had never – ever played with so many Steelhead in one day!

I explained to Al that Steelhead fishing was not supposed to be this easy. And for that reason, I thought that there were just too many Salmon River Steelhead here. And we should take the drift boat someplace else. Someplace where there may or may not be any Steelhead and if so, maybe just 1 or 2. Someplace where we would really have to work hard for them, like we have been doing all week on the Salmon River.

Al agreed that “I should GO” and he would stay there and Steelhead fish.

Last time Al Steelhead fished with me he brought a note pad and pen. With the average being that most folks only retain 20-30% of what they hear or read. He wanted to make sure he did not forget a single Steelhead hold’n spot. Over the entire 3 miles of the Salmon River I stopped at and explained in great detail.
All was written down with a exciting, feverish, fishing exactness.

One of the highest compliment’s was paid to me by AL as he stated. Randy, you know that Salmon River spot you showed me by such a such a tree. You said stand here, cast there and the fish sit there. And you can expect a Steelhead to bite anywhere from 10 to 25 feet off the bank in a 30 foot length?
I went back to that spot and every time I go there I get into some Steelhead.
One day alone I hit six steelhead in that one spot. And I was the only one there. I’ve never seen a single drift boat or person stop and fish it.

Al didn’t know this……. but that one lil (no name) spot. My guest’s went 21 days in a row hitting 1 to 5 Steelhead in it each day. And the same for the hole directly below it.

Steelhead Addiction Affliction! – Enjoy the Thrills and Spills of a 3 day Salmon River Drift Boat Trip w/ Dave.

Catching a Bunch of fish, sub-freezing temp’s, swimming in 33 degree water and a Humorous drift boat experience.

12/14 – Guiding Dave brought back found memories of our best day of Salmon River drift boat Steelheading ever. Last March we started out the morning fishing through the slush. By days end we had landed a BUNCH of fresh run Steelhead!
Today was a combination of re-learning, fishing, catching and having a lot of laughs. I kept reminding Dave to cast @ 12 O’clock. And that 12 O’clock was straight across the river and not up river! I think he must a been on West coast time, forgot to turn his clock back, uses a digital watch, uses a sun dial or flunked “when the big hand is on the 12.”

12/15 Continued – End of the Day. This HUMOROUS Salmon River drift boat highlight will be one I will not forget, nor hope to repeat anytime soon.

Remember the old saying, up a creek with out a paddle? How about up a creek with out 2 drift boat paddles.
There is a spot in the Salmon River called the trestle hole. You drift and drop through a slot of fast white water rapids before digging heavy on your drift boat oars. To miss an intimidating 20 foot high by 6 foot wide cement pillar dead ahead. As we made the drop I was on my second BIG dig on the oars.
When SNAP went my left wooden oar blade.

With the white water rapids taking control of our fate and with 1 second before IMPACT! I YELLED – (Politely) – HOLD ON!, were going to hit the Trestle!
I noticed a slight jump in Dave’s normally calm disposition.

I then jumped into a phone booth, spun and turned into “Super Guide Man.” I used my right wooden drift boat oar blade to fend off and break the impact. Of an aluminum drift boat crunching into a solid pillar of “I hope my life insurance policy is paid up” cement.

Yup, you guessed it, there went my second Salmon River drift boat wooden oar blade with a SNAP!

I dropped anchor and retrieved the broken blades from the Salmon River water. The balance of the drift boat ride down, was one of positioning the drift boat at the top of the runs. And then drifting with the current w/ my anchor slightly tapping bottom. And me poling the drift boat with my 10 foot net handle safely to the drift boat ramp.
Today was just another dull day in this never ending boring virtual ho-hum Adventure aboard the drift boat.
P.S. I no longer use wooden drift boat oar blades. I went to those nice expensive light high modular graphite ones. In case you were worried about your next drift boat trip with me.

Dave’s Holiday Steelhead. Congrats!
