So I decided to hit the Kalama for 4 hours today through noon time. I started at Indian Creek and ended at the "1000 ft below the falls line". I fished every inch of the river that even looked fishable throwing 1/8 oz jigs in "nightmare" pattern and black with pink coloring. I tried shrimp oil scent, homemade shrimp chunks, no bait, and spinners. I caught ZERO steelhead. However I did catch 2 16 inch resident native rainbows on the spinner, and 12 9-18" native rainbows on the jig and shrimp chunk combo. While it was not what I was targeting, to go out and catch 14 fish over 9" on a river in the pacific northwest it was an epic day for me!! Always looking for fishing buddies and I hit the rivers as much as I can.

You been out fishing the Kalama lately; I went out twice the past couple weeks and saw 100's of fish in the fly fishing area but couldn't get them to bite on anything...tried it all jigs, spoons, plugs, corkies, coon shrimp, sand shrimp. You get anything out there or anywhere close by there?
