Location: Elk Creek
Date Fished: 10/16 & 10/17
Type of Report: Stream
Report: Fished Saturday & Sunday on Elk,
below the 90 hole. Creek was low, but had the nice
green color. Must have been 75-100 fish in the
hole. Single eggs and sucker spawn worked best,
with a very small float. Small float was needed
because the creek was low. Left Sunday ~4pm, was
raining, fish were getting active again. Saturday
had 16 hookups, landed 9. Sunday had ~25 hookups,
landed 13. Almost all the fish were big, there were
some real logs in the stream! Caught a 10# chinook,
seemed to be a lot of salmon in, which was kinda
unusual. Fish were very active all day, could be
seem swimming upstream through the riffles. If I
had more vacation, I know where I'd be this
week!

Report: WHAT A 2 DAY TRIP. FINALLY GOT RAIN
AND THE STREAMS WERE PERFECT ON FRI. AND SAT.
STARTED UPSTREAM AT DAYBREAK WITH MY DAD AND BUDDY,
STARTED HOOKING FISH RIGHT AWAY; THE FISH WERE
EVERYWERE. BY DUSK WE PROBABLY HOOKED 40 FISH
BETWEEN THE THREE OF US INCLUDING AN 11LB. 5OZ.
FEMALE THAT PUT ME IN THE LEAD IN THE PA.
STEELHEADERS TOURNEY. SATURDAY WAS NO DIFFERENT THE
CREEK SURPRISINGLY HELD IT'S COLOR AND FLOW; THE
ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE NUMBER OF GUYS. I MUST
COMMENT THAT EVERYONE AROUND US WAS VERY POLITE AND
ON FRI. WE EVEN HAD A BATTLE BETWEEN SIDES OF THE
CREEK AS TO WHO COULD LAND THE MOST FISH. OF COURSE
OUR SIDE BLEW AWAY THE COMPETITION. ALOT OF FUN, I
JUST WISH EVERYONE COULD ACT THE SAME. SATURDAYS
FISHING WAS A MIRROR IMAGE OF FRI., ANOTHER 40 TO
50 FISH DAY EXCEPT MY DAD TOOK THE LEAD IN THE
STEALHEADERS TOURNEY WITH AN 11LB.7OZ. BUCK THAT
WENT 30 AND A HALF INCHES., HIS LARGEST STEELY
EVER, HE WAS THRILLED. OVERALL THE FISHING COULD'NT
HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. ONE FINAL COMMENT, WE LANDED
PROBABLY 60 FISH IN TWO DAYS BETWEEN THE 3 OF US
AND ONLY KILLED 2 FISH AND THATS BECAUSE THEY WERE
ENTERED IN THE TOURNEY. I FELT BAD KILLING 2 FISH.
LEARN TO PRACTICE CATCH AND RELEASE TO PRESERVE THE
GREAT FISHERY WE LOVE SO MUCH. THE STEELIES AREN'T
REALLY THAT TASTY ANYWAY AND WILL MORE THAN LIKELY
END UP IN THE TRASH CAN. HAVE FUN EVERYONE AND GOOD
LUCK! CRAIG L.

Type of Report: Stream
Report: The Rain on Wednesday night brought
the Steelhead on Thursday Morning. Large numbers
holding near the mouths and lower extremities.
They were taking Sucker Spawn tied in large
patterns and seemed to be favoring the lighter
colors. The smaller creeks (12 mile) had dark fast
water. Friday morning was bliss. The water had
dropped/cleared while still maintaining enough
volume to hold the fish in the drops. The action
was amazing with the fishing pressure so light. Any
decent drop was giving up fish. I hooked six
Steelhead on four different colors of Sucker Spawn.
There are not many days like this.
A Happy Angler!

Report: Fished the mouth of Elk today. The
action was great. We all landed at least ten. all
of them were at least 24 inches, many bigger. They
seemed to like the green powerbait. The best
fishing so far this fall. The water was very
stained, and the wind was from the north most of
the day. We fished late morning and early
afternoon. My friend lost many fish, but he claimed
he didn't know what he was doing, but we know
better. Everyone shoudl get to elk while the action
is hot. Most of the people around me did well also.
Everyone was so helpful and friendly and it made
the fishing so much better. Thanks everyone and
tight lines!!

Report: Fished ELK all day Thurs. to Sat.
Talk about unpredictable! Fishing was GREAT both
thursday and friday, Saturday was so-so. Sunday was
horrible. There were several hundred fish in the
hole where the Wife and I fished along with several
others. There were only two fish landed and only a
few other hits. We left at 2:00.
Thursday to Saturday, they were hitting real good
on minnows, singles and skein. Every now and again
fish had been taken on white mini foos, maggots,
worms and green spinners. Had a great trip, people
were very friendly and the weather was nice.
Finally bought a noodle rod- what a difference!
Good luck fishing and remember, it is all about
getting away from the daily routine. Treat others
with the respect that you expect...

Report: Fished Elk from Legion upstream to
Rte. 90. Water low and cloudy but clearing by
afternoon. Good numbers of fish in all holes. Did
well on pink egg sacks, landed 3. Only saw three
fisherman all day. Unless you want an extremely
long and unnecessary hike, check reports before
fishing anywhere as far up as Rte. 98. We must have
hiked miles hoping to find those few stragglers
upstream of the rest. Woo! Great day though!

helpful and thanks to everyone who buys a licsense

Report: Went to train tressel behind Elk
Valley. Landed a small jack and lost one on
singles. The fish turned off around 9 am, so much
for rain that was predicted. For Wayne, just having
some fun, while expressing distaste for those who
snag. The message was turn them in, because
tolerance breeds repetition. Some of the trash on
the streams is too big for a hefty two-ply. By the
way I do have a Wrangler, so what?!?! You have some
secret steelhead location where steelies are
plentiful, the water's high, but you need an ORV to
get to?? Come on Wayne, wake up!

can keep the shoulder to shoulder on the wall and

If you fish to catch fish, your fishing for the

is a lot of truth to that saying. Good luck tight
