Steelhead Arrive at Riggins Idaho – Fall of 2008
Nymph Mayflies from RiverBum.com are considered by anglers as one of the most popular flies in existence!
I thought I would write a quick post today about steelhead fishing at Riggins Idaho.A good friend of mine and fishing partner for over thirty five years called last night to let me know how the steelhead fishing report was on the Salmon River at Riggins.
With the weather as warm as it has been over the last two weeks I thought that the steelhead may be holding up in the river some where. Once again I was wrong according to his report. He fished just below Riggins at the mouth of Race Creek. Which is one of his favorite steelhead hole during the early fall run. After fishing for a little over six hours he hooked four steelhead and was able to land two of them.
They are were what is known as A-run fish the small of the steelhead and the first to arrive here in Idaho. These A-Run fish usually weigh in the 5 to 7 pound range with an average length of about 26 inches. According to what he told me however they were very aggressive fish, jumping and making several good runs on him before he either landed them or they threw the hook.
Four Steelhead in six hours. Sounds like it is time to make trip down to Riggins.
By the way I hear that they are doing very well on the Clearwater too. The upper section of the River remains catch and release only until the 15th of October remember that if you are planning a trip up there.
See you on the River!
