The class of fish this year on the Clearwater River is amazing! Here is a happy client from last week with what seems to be a good example of the standard B run Steelhead hen this winter. The winter fishery here on the Clearwater River in Idaho keeps showing me promise of being very consistent this year. Yes, the cold spells earlier made it tough but I think that weather also put a lot of fish back in the lower river below Dworshak Dam to winter over. I am excited going forward anticipating great winter Steelhead fishing success! I am guiding for Swiftwater Outfitters and we have openings and availability in December through March 15th. Booking a Steelhead fishing trip with us is an excellent gift for loved ones and a good remedy for cabin fever! Message for availability and prices. We hope to hear from you soon!
