Featured Testimonial: Our Clients Write In
Hi Joe,
I am looking into my first fly tying kit and Fly rod thanks to you. (Skip).
I have a Fly fishing buddy that is interested in a Steel Head trip in the spring.
If you have any suggestions as to a good time period we will get back to you for a guided trip. Here's the Skip, Mike and Nick testimonial.....
It all starts with a call. "Be at the diner at 5am". Click! That's it. Welcome to the world of Joe Vivenzio. Be prepared to fish ALL DAY. From Legal sun up to legal sun down. Damn, don't ya love it!!!!! The water levels were UP UP UP, (1000 to 1500 cfs), tough fishing conditions anyway you look at it. The challenge is on! I will admit that Joe took us on an adventure hike through the woods in the dark to get to "the" spot on the river, but, it was worth the effort. Joe had his hands full with three never been fly fishing clods. I'll bet we hooked into over 40 fish on the day! Amazing! We are all converted to Fly Fishing for Salmon from here forward. Along with Joe's expert advice, come Joe's unique humor and his dog Sinbad. Both will keep you amused during the lulls and breaks. Thanks Joe and Sinbad for a great day on Salmon River. We'll be back!!!!

Nick, Mike and Skip.

January Cohos
You heard it right. Small pods of Cohos mixed in with the Steelhead. The fishing at the moment is as good as it gets. Lots of people up and down the river. I would suspect, with the warmer temperatures and the Monday Holiday. This is going to be a good spring again this year, good numbers of Steelhead. You have to tip you're hat, to Fran and his team they are doing a great job with this fishery.
