Just came back from a few cold days over there, river dropping really nice now, color is great and the fish are in all the high water holding spots. Lots of fish around, only hooked 2 summer runs the whole time which was a big change from a month ago when we were there. Did 2 days from shore and 1 from the boat, had a great time other than snapping my 3113 !! :'( Saw 420247 and his buddy yesterday with Rollie in the jet- both looking cold but happy. A C.O. came out of the woods in the middle of NOWHERE behind us this morning in CAMO and freaked the crap out of us checking for bait use. Other than the change of underpants that was needed after that scare, it was good to see their presence on the water- I told him to visit the Vedder to get more business! Good luck all in the derby tomorrow! Here are a couple of pics-

Nice work! I have never really bothered with that system prefering to hit the Gold when I am on the island. Is it worth going without a boat?
Nice fish and report sucks about the sage but that is what the warrenty is for I quess!
-
using boat isn't necessary, but we always do 1 day from a boat when we go over there just to find the water we couldn't get to from shore, but there isn't a huge problem finding fish from the bank.
-
nice fish good going
-
Sweet fish !

must say thats a beaut of a steelie go fish.... got back from the stamp river late sunday nyte and woke up monday morning so sick i couldnt even walk, just had no energy what so ever but now im good again and can post a report........ the fishing over there was awsome..... hooked quite a few but didnt land as many as was hoping....... rollie was our guide and what a great guide he is,... being out in a jetboat is quite the experience every1 should try, kinda pricey buy definatly worth the cash....... came home with 2 hatcheries... coulda been 3 but decided i have enough meat in the freezer so decided to let one go for someone else to wack...... water conditions were perfect other then being a lil high.... crystal clear river.... easily 5-7 feet visability..... every spot our guide told us there was a fish,... there was..... in 1 lil run alone we hit 5 fish in 6 casts so that was prety cool....... this was my first time fishing the river and had no trouble finding good shore access and hooked quite a few off shore.... lost a few due to tree roots and branches in the water but thats what makes steelheading fun... learning to work with the obsitcles thrown at ya....... anyways a few pictures in my album for anyone who wants to take a look..... dont know if this is the egzact link myte have to fiddle with it a bit......

Hey 420247,
Great fish dude, great pics too. I am going to The Stamp next week. I hope it's as productive. ;D
-
Nice steelies. Did Rollie get to keep the roe ?
-
rollie kept 1/2 the roe...... i didnt use roe on the trip but my buddy did so we decided it was only fiar to replace the roe my buddy used so that future clients have quality bait to use....... i didnt use bait at all.... you wouldnt belive how hard these steelies hit the simple stuff like wool combos and gooey bobs....... just hammered them
-
i only landed 3 hatcheries...but landed quite a few wilds..... VERY BRIGHT FISH, got a pic of 1 in my album thats just GLOWING!!!!!!!!!! between 2 of us on the guide boat we had about 20 hook ups....... off shore i had about 7-8 hook ups and my buddy about 5 hook ups... get in there early for shore access...... good spots crowd FAST!!!!!
-
something to worry about though, rollie is well kinda krazy.... and well there wasnt even 1 life jacket onboard...... just something to consider
-
I hear you. We went on a charter with Rollie for chinooks a while back. The original plan was to drift down the Stamp in his boat. He convinced us to fish from shore. He took us in his truck and bushwhacked his way down a steep hill to the river. I sweart we were going to crash down that trail. Somehow we made it. The fishing was fabulous. It was quite an adventure to climb up that hill after fishing.
-
42047 you guys must have done quite well after i seen you at the bucket you had the one summer run from shore didnt you get any pics of the others ;)
-
Rollie has 3 life jackets in the front compartment. We wore them when we went up through the bucket. He always has them on board.
-
I dont think murphys going to open himself up to a liable suit by not having life jackets in the sleds I dont see many guys weaing them though
-
I bring my own lifejacket. ;D

i was out on sunday as well. Jets are sorta a pain when shorefishing but i bet are awsome to fish out of. I only fished 45min as a dropped a screw off my reel in 3 feet of water and couldnt reach it. One hit on jensen wool combo

It's not going to do much good if one falls overboard. Accidents can happen in the wink of an eye. Can never understand why people don't wear floatation devices. It saves lives.
-
don't be complacent, above the bucket, and anywhere on the Sproat, you'd have to be an idiot to not have a life jacket on! ask your favourite guide how many times he's been in the water. The answer will probably, no, it WILL scare you.
-
I guess I'm an idiot then
-
How much is "alot" of hookups
Bird....be ready ALL the time!!
Off shore, expect numbers like you would get on the Vedder when she's in prime shape but with Rollie the numbers will be STUPID by cheese standards! The 20lbs coho killer and I could pick and choose who we wanted to wack!
You'll have fun
-
ALLWAYS FISHING AND MYSELF JUST GOT BACK, WE PRETTY MUCH HAMMERED ON THEM ;D, REPORT TO FOLLOW !
-
hammered is an understatement by any standards hehehe ;D
-
hey gofish, next time, ask Rollie where the last boat to sink went down. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't in the Stamp!
-
^ I KNOW WHERE ;)
-
maybe the last boat that went down wasnt the stamp, but a few weeks ago a jet boat almost went down in the STAMP RIVER...... boat was taking on water..... luckily all they lost was some gear which they managed to retrieve
***** SORRY gofish, shouldnt have assumed there wasnt life jackets on board.... i just never saw any under the seats or anywhere on the boat and at no time did rollie advise us to put them on..... my bad********
-
Fishfryer- at the confluence of the Stamp and Sproat. Saw the pics. 420- To tell you the truth I never knew they were there either until this trip!
-
any pics of that on the net? or did murphys have them at the lodge?
-
you know, Rollie is a fantastic guide, and I'd fish with him anytime, I'd just wear the jacket ;D
-
no one said he was a bad guide....... just krazy... hes a excellent guide
