Top Fish Caught
-
1. Baldhead waterfall back to back steelhead - Matt and Liz
Liz hooked a fish one cascade up in the Baldhead waterfalls and it quickly took her downstream to the pool below. With Liz stuck on the top of the falls unable to safely get downstream, Matt raced down the bank, got into the pool below and was able net her fish. Matt hooked a fish in the same spot the very next cast and a familiar fish fight ensued with Liz successfully netting the fish downstream.

This monster came charging out of the brush and smashed Matt’s fly within view then put up a great fight with lots of acrobatics

3. Namesen River skating fly Atlantic Salmon - Liz
Our skating fly skepticism was dashed when the water erupted near the end of Liz’s swing

4. Santa Elana double Dorado - Matt and LIz
After missing several fish in the same area, we both hooked up and were able to hold on and get them both in the boat

5. Baldhead Brook trout - Matt
True to form, the first few casts in Matt’s favorite run near the baldhead falls produced a personal best brook trout
-
6. Snake River Brown Trout - Matt
The guy at the local fly shop pointed on a map and told us where to fish, he also mention a monster resident brown that lived in the area. At 6 lbs and nearly 25” it’s safe to say, we found him
