Well after all the waiting that I have been doing, I finally got a chance to get out and do some fishing. Claude and I made our annual trip to the upper salmon river in Stanley Id and landed a few steelhead (April 10th - 14th). If you are familiar with the the Yankee Fork area, we were fishing under the over hanging tree in between the cables. I want to say that the water flow the first day was close to 950cfs climbing up around 1300cfs the last day we were there (five days). The Yankee Fork water had a glacier tint to it but the Salmon river was fairly clear so it was producing some good fishing. The air temp was about 24 degrees when we started in the morning but warmed up to around 40 degrees throughout the day. The Salmon river was fairly clear as far down as we were fishing so it produced some fish. Here are a couple of fish that we landed.
