Spring Cutties

2/15/2015

At long last the days of continuous deluge have come to an end and the rivers are receding back to their winter conditions.  Yesterday the Vedder was still up but in a receding stage.  Lots of new logs had washed down river so the quantity of wood on some of the gravel bars has gone up.  Upstream of the Vedder Bridge to the Tamahi Bridge there was an even distribution of anglers testing for steelhead.  The colour in the water was higher than I like but clarity and water level were both going in the right direction.

Two good signs, the continued high water will bring new fish into the river and the dropping levels and increasing clarity will make it easier to find them especially by mid week, say Feb. 18th.  Other rivers like the Chehalis will be much more fishable and so the usual persistance in tracking down an IronHead will be be required.  But, that's why they call it a fish of a thousand casts!
Gabe is out working the estuaries and river mouths on the coast by Powell River and testing out two new articulating patterns with trailing hooks hoping for steelhead but finding out that the Sea Run Cutties are taking a shine to the new patterns he has tentatively named a "Hendrix Purple Haze " (after the Jimmy Hendrix song) and "Bleeding Peach" (or if you prefer his medical school lingo "Hemorrhagic Peach".   Yesterday and today with the rising barometer and the rising tides the Cutties were eagerly leaving the back eddies to hit his lures. 
In view of how fat some of them are it's clear that there is a supply of minnows and sculpins to supplement their appetite.
