Went to Horeshoe first thing this morning and fished for an hour and a half and not a hit. Drove to Kress and it is really dirty. Visiblity is about a foot, the water is brown and milky color, full of silt from the January flood.

Caught about 15 small trout on Rooster Tails and a small black and olive jig. I noticed a lot of commotion going on in front of me and saw two steelhead circling and nipping at eachother. The two were thrashing and splashing on top, so I motored to them. I cast my tiny jig towards them and hooked one. After at least a twenty minute fight, I was able to tail this steely. I had an ultra light with 4 pound test and a tiny jig that hooked it in the lower jaw. Pretty beat up, nice colored though. Snapped a couple of pictures and let it go.

There were at least ten osprey's working the lake today, the fish won't last long with them crashing the water every few minutes.
