February 26, 2012 ... In a blink of an eye, wild winter steelhead season is upon us in full swing!

While numbers appear to be less than most would like to see, water conditions have been outstanding and the average size of the fish has been very good with lots of fish in mid-teens and bigger!

Planes, Trains, and Autombiles! Our long-distance client of the winter finds success! Phillipe Koehler traveled all the way from France to Forks in search of a swung wild steelhead. He got to meet this pretty girl up close and personal.

The tribal fishery has already seen a springer show up in their catch, so it shouldn't be too long before a few of these prized Chinook make for some nice surprises for steelhead anglers!

We have a couple of March and first half of April dates still available for either conventional tackle or fly fishing and some great savings on late April steelhead / salmon combo trips as well as springer trips through May 15.

Mark Miller is savoring his return to the Northwest as now his fishing trips are nearly monthly rather than annually ... he's got his work cut out for him to find a bigger steelhead on his next guided trip!

It will be just a few short months before we'll switch gears and start up our 2013 Alaska fishing season. In our 19th year of Kenai Peninsula operation, the guests are even more predictable than the fish and as expected, folks have been very busy the last 4-6 weeks making plans for this summer and many peak dates are now full. But we have some great specials available for those with flexible schedules to help fill our holes.

While lots of room remains in the off-peak periods, it's definitely getting in the late innings of the game for those looking for dates in the historical peak times. For remaining availability, please feel free to drop us an email or give us a shout and we'll be happy to give you a hand. Since we're fishing every day right now, eve hours on the west coast are best to reach us near the phones.

Join Piscatorial Pursuits in 2013 on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
