Thank you all for the advice. I wish I could swing a guide for a day and will perhaps consider this in the spring, after saving a few bucks this winter.

Swifty, I have a 17ft canoe but have been wary of taking it out anywhere as I dont have much experience in it other than lakes, at McNary i am assuming I wont get washed 20 miles down river eh ?

I had a great time watching others catch kings at Ringold to where just the word leaves me a bad taste in my mouth, lol.

I have not yet been to Ice harbor and will definitely look into this area.

So looking at the fish count totals it appears that the number of Steelhead coming over is really slowing down... Do you think any of these areas will be hotter than others the first week of November. I still am trying to figure out the nature of migration... I am assuming by this time most fish will have made their way into tributaries ?

What do folks think about the Snake or Grande Ronde come November ?
