I went out to the Bogy early Saturday morning. (just below the rearing ponds) I was pleased to find that I wasn't fighting to get a spot. I followed a couple of guys in that said that they had been there before. I just set up next to them and waited for some light. Once day break happened it was awesome. There were about 40 to 50 fishermen spread over several hundred yards on either side of the river. Everyone was catching fish. I saw some guys leaving around 11am because they both of them had caught their limit (3). Around lunch time I decided to take a break and walk the bank checking out everyones catch. Most everyone had at least one strung up. I started asking what they were catching on and they ran the gammet. Appearantly everything worked. Corky and yarn, only corky, only yarn, any color (green, orange, pink, yellow), corky and shrimp, yarn and shrimp, corky and eggs, only eggs. Not many people floating jigs. Mainly eggs. I personally didn't catch anything, but the river was HOT for Steelies. Wish I lived closer. I'm new to Steelhead fishing so I can't be too disapointed, but I learned a lot.
