A group of us fished the Smith today and steelhead fishing was great. Landed a 31 inch steelhead and my pop got a 29 incher. My first time river fishing and I enjoyed it more than ocean fishing. Big thanks to our captians Craig Sutton, suttonoutdoors.com and John Pizza, www.salmonandsteelhead.com. Craig took good care of me and my pop and if you want to fish the Smith you should call him. |

Fishing on the Smith River is tough right now. The water has dropped to 7.5 feet and is gin clear. I got a chance to go check it out on Thursday and Friday with Ross Cooley (Cooley & Pollard Hardware in Yreka) and Stan Egeline. We took Stan’s drift boat and all of us took turns rowing and fishing from the Forks to Ruby then from the Forks to Outhouse. On Thursday Stan landed a beautiful 8.5-pound Steelhead (buck) and later in the day I landed a small 8-pound Salmon (hen). We all got skunked on Friday. Both fish were landed in the cable hole and were very bright. Stan landed his on roe and I landed mine on a kwikfish. The river needs some rain to bring it up and put some color in it. Three to four more feet of water would be great. Salmon is the main attraction right now with fish up to 60 pounds having been landed so far. Steelhead are mixed in right now but not a lot of them.
