November has been good to me on the tribs this year. Started the month off with a trip up to the Big Man and our timing was just right as the water was still high but dropping. Got fish bouncing beads, casting shad raps and backtrolling Hot n Tots.
My buddy with a bead caught fish
Pretty sure this was my first river steely on a shad rap.

Billy with an absolute tank that crushed a hot n tot in some hairy water.


I had to steal a pic with this toad. Back trolling the river can be some seriously technical fishing, took a dialed in team to get this fish to the net, I was shocked when I saw how big this dude was/ is.


Back home on the creeks, plugs have really turned on in addition to spinners. Some area you back reel it through other just hold it in place, sometimes they chase them in on the retrieve in slower pools. Numbers haven’t been high, at least on fresh winter fish, but quality is excellent. If. You’re willing to bush whack some of the upper stretches are stacked with skamania.



Hopefully it doesnt get too cold and we can keep enjoying open water all winter. Tough to decide between perch and steelhead. Got lucky a couple days and squeezed in both
