The last few weeks I have been fishing the bay's for Salmon. I have been averaging 4-5 fish hooked per day and landing anywhere from 1-3. I have had a few 5-6 fish in the boat days. The count has steadily been staying consistent, with excellent fresh eating fish. Don't forget when the heavy rains come in November the Elk and Sixes Salmon season will kick off. My winter Steelhead dates are filling fast so if you are interested in joining in or buying someone a trip of a lifetime for Christmas let me know as soon as you can.

I've been working on the river every day and haven't had a lot of time to update my fishing report but I thought you guys would enjoy seeing the biggest double that I have ever landed. The male fish on the left weighed 22 lbs and the female on the right weighed 14 1/2 lbs, we released both of these fish to keep the Umpqua's strain of fish big and strong. Bob is still going to have a reproduction mount made of the big male that was 40 3/4" long with a 20" girth, these are only 2 of the 10 fish they landed. Fishing Report 2-23-2005
Sorry no postings lately, I have been fishing everyday. Here are a few pictures of the fish we have caught in the last two weeks. We have been averaging about 8 fish hooked a trip on the Main Umpqua. I fished today and hooked 11 and landed 5 with the biggest being about 14lbs. Fishing pressure has been slower during the week and heavy on the weekends. I am booked thru March now and I will try to keep you posted as I can.

Gary and Loren of Roseburg - This is a limit of fish caught with me on the Main Umpqua River. Fishing has been very good on the Umpqua this year. I'm going to try the Coquille tomorrow. I am now booked solid through February and I don't have a lot of days left for March, so if you would like to get in on some of this action don't wait too long. Robert 1/27/2005 Dave and Larry Long (below) from Anderson, California. This is 1 of the 9 fish they caught on their trip down the Main Umpqua River.
Fishing Report 1-20-2005 This is four of the ten fish that Archie of Redmond and his brother Jim from Texas caught today on the South Fork of the Coquille River.
Fishing Report 1-18-2005 This is four of the six fish that Jim and Randy landed on Jan. 13 on the South Fork of the Coquille during low water conditions. I fished the Main Umpqua on the 14 & 15, my best day we hooked 13 fish. Then it warmed up and started raining so I went to the South Fork of the Coquille and we hooked six and landed five before limiting the boat. Now all of the rivers are out of shape and some of them should be fishing Thursday and I will be back on the water. I am booked solid for the rest of the month and I only have six days left for the month of February and March is filling fast. So, if you are interested in booking a trip please don't wait around, e-mail me or give me a call in the evenings at 1-800-985-3474(FISH). I will keep you posted as time allows. Robert Winter Steelhead Umpqua & Coquille rivers 1/10/05 I've been fishing on the Umpqua most of the time and have still been averaging 12-14 fish hooked a trip. Seems like 20% of the fish this year are pushing 12+ pounds. I caught one and released it that had a girth and length measurement that calculated out to 22.98 pounds. When this last storm front rolled in the barometer was dropping fast which caused the fish to go off of the bite and I struggled, only catching 2-3 fish a day for a couple of days but now that the storm has passed over we are back to catching lots of fish. I was over at the South Fork of the Coquille for a half of a day and hooked 6 fish. I've been really enjoying my new 17' Rivercraft drift boat, I've never rowed a boat that tracks better and will run a straighter line for side drifting bait. It's really nice to come home and not have sore shoulders. Robert Report Posted By Wet Willy Jan 6, 2005 With the low water conditions I'd guess the Umpqua
system is the best bet now...I am hoping this weekend the precipitation is
enough to give the systems a little further down the state a boost for a
good push of fish... Umpqua river winter Steelhead 12/27/2004 Coquille River November 10 & 11 Sixes River Fishing On Nov. 2 I fished the Sixes river and it was very
