So as I mentioned in the earlier post we have been sort of on a salmon drought. I got to Oregon on Wednesday and my dad informed me that the fishing was “really slow” (Translation……NO FISHY!!) So we hop in the truck and take a road trip to Idaho to do a little river steelhead salmon fishing. Three days and a mild case of frostbite later we haven’t even gotten a bite. The frustrating part is that we could actually SEE the salmon swimming upstream. We even saw several salmon which in some ways is worse. Sitting there freezing your ass off on the bank of the river watching salmon swim right by your lure just isn’t right. I was tempted to just dive in and take my chances. See video below and you’ll see how close they actually were.
However, we doubled back to Oregon and the day I left to come back to Fresno we found a couple of suicidal salmon who may have just felt sorry for us. Either that or they were just tired of all that swimming upstream. Here’s some pictures of our day.
