   HOT SPOT - Steelhead

 

Steelhead

"Once again Randy Jones and his clients were high rods on the river Saturday. With Randy for the day were Jim Greiff and Chris Thompson. They were 4 for 16 on black stones, hares ear and Oregon cheese egg flies. There are also rumors circulating that 1) Chris was heard to shout, 'Help! I've got a monster on here!! 2) Chris fell into or was pulled into the river. It is unclear at this time if the two events were related. Has "Nessie" left Scotland?"
    "Just a quick thanks to you folks at Whitaker's. A year ago you set me up with guide Randy Jones for my first shot at steelies. It was great. This year was even better. On Saturday, I had hook-ups with several hot fish and landed a pair of steelies and one rainbow with Randy. Not only does the guy know where the fish are, he is a great teacher and has a sense of humor to match. My buddy, Chris Thompson (yes, the one who got a Salmon River bath) and I had a blast. I have a feeling we'll be back. Thanks."

    "Randy's winning streak held for another day on Easter Sunday. Bill and Robert Martinson were 8 for 16 on Steelhead. Bugs du jour were stones and Oregon cheese glo bugs."

    "I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for putting me in touch with Randy Jones. As you know we at O. Mustad & Sons took 15 of our representatives fishing on the Salmon this past Sunday. I was fortunate enough to go with Randy. Fishing was super tough that day with hurricane winds and driving rain. The fish seemed to have lockjaw throughout the river. Randy worked his butt of trying to get us some fish. We had our representative from British Columbia with us and needless to say he's a great steelhead fisherman. Despite the terrible weather we stuck it out and fished from 7 AM  to 4 PM. We landed 3 fish and we owe our success to Randy's hard work and perseverance. He took one for the team as he practically dove in to net a nice steelie for us. I really do appreciate the help and we will certainly recommend Randy to our customers. "

     "Randy Jones ran a double drift trip for Steelhead yesterday. First at bat were Bill Fieldman, Jr. and Dick Angello. They were 1 for 3 for the morning drift. On deck for the afternoon cocktail cruise were Bill Fieldman and Bob Fieldman. The pm pair were 2 for 5 using Oregon cheese egg patterns, stirred, not shaken!"

    "Randy Jones with his client, Mike Leuahane, were 3 for 15 by fishing the tails of the pools and gravel areas for Steelhead. Once again the bug du jour was Oregon Cheese Glo Bugs."

    "Randy Jones, in an encore performance with Dr. Howard Beemer, had a grand day reporting in with a 4 for 12 batting average on Steelhead. Of special note, Randy added that they released (and we quote here) 'a beautiful speckled chub which put up a spectacular fight."
