Fishin' the Salmon River

So the guys went fishin and had a blast! Last week, Chris, my dad, Trent Ledeboer and Josh Smith went to the Salmon River (central Idaho) to go steelhead fishing! Apparently steelhead are really fun to catch (kinda like ocean fishing but in a River) The scenery was beautiful, the weather freezing (literally) and the fishing ...... Great!!!!! The guys caught more than any other group they ran into on their adventure! It all comes down to the perfect fishing hole and they found just the one ... so they got up every morning before the sun to "claim thier hole" before any other fishermen had a chance .... boys will be boys!
11 lbs, 31" Steelhead (caught by Chris)

29" Steelhead (caught by Trent)



Unfortunately, they didn't get a good photo of this one, they were too excited!
This is a 35" , 15 lb Wild Steelhead (caught by Josh) This fish was returned to the beautiful river to be caught again another day! (wild steelhead must be released)


So the guys had a great trip and we have a freezer full of beautiful steelhead!

Good to see you back on blog! I even jumped on the bandwagon, it looks like so much fun! The fishing looked like a blast except the whole freezing part!! But I'm a wimp and I admit it!

Wow, I can't believe the size of the fish that guy Josh is holding. It is amazing how his fish dwarfs all the others.
