Captain's LogWhen I was born, my father was in the marina business, which meant working 7 days a week during the summer.  So when my mother was sick & tired of me and it was my fathers turn to watch me, it usually meant going to work with him. Since he was very busy, I frequently found myself tied to the end of a dock and left with a fishing pole & some bait. Although I realize many liberals and slick lawyers would label this as child abuse nowadays, I can't say I minded! Ever since, my love for fishing and the outdoors has remained strong.
    I will use this page to bring you fishing reports, update you on upcoming events, and inform you on issues important to our fishery. Also watch for pictures & reports on our latest fishing trips!
    I will apologize to everyone in advance, when we get to busy times in our fishing schedule, I know the web site won't be as up to date as we would all like.

FISHING REPORT 4/3/2002 April 3, 2002 From Mid march to early April the steelhead fishing has been good. The weather has been warmer than usual for the most part. The water level has been medium to high & early spawned out fish have been making up the bulk of the catch.  Mark Steiger from PA catches a nice one only minutes into the trip. Nice way to start! Gil Barrett from Mass. enjoys the weather change, 5 degrees last year almost 70 this year. And it paid off!! Smaller tributaries like North & South Sandy creeks have also been fishing well. There are a lot of fish on the Salmon river at the hatchery & upper reaches of the river.  Meaning we should have very good fishing for the rest of the month as they make there way back down the river after spawning. As the water temps rise, these fish will be feeding voraciously!!  Gil's partner Gino Maggi jr grabs a nice one too! Mark's son Dennis comes back with one of his own The Lake fishing should be starting to pick up very soon also. -Capt. Tom
