Here is a picture of the large coho that Brad caught last Saturday, and a twin to the Steelhead that I caught a few casts after the first.

All three fish were taken in a 50 foot stretch of river in about 20 minutes.

Steelhead were taken on eggs, the silver was taken on a Vibrax.

that is one twisted lookin coho. Ben

I bet you can do some awesome side drifting from that chopper, but can you pull plugs???

i hold the guiness record for catching a steelhead while trolling out of a helicopter. no kidding. its really not that hard.

Bardo isn't kidding about the water action. He has pontoons for the copter. Think of it as a Cataraft, with LOTS of power.

That chopper things got me all fruited out... I can only imagine the places you could go with that thing! I'm jealous.

Is that a robinson? A friend of mine and a great pilot was killed in a robinson last spring, so I don't think I could ever get in one again. But the helicopter is definately the way to go, man you can get to some great water that way.
Shoot me an e-mail you might know anopther pilot friend of mine.

It's a Hughes 300. And yes, you can get into places that NOBODY else is going to get. Can't you, Brad?

If I am right I have seen that bird up in the canyon on the skoke r.??If it was it scared the hell out of me.It was a few years back.I used to have a secret camp up there.I figured that bird was the state and bolted to hide,and broke the last lami I ever bought.Wasn,t doing anything wrong just didn,t want to give anybody an exuse to ruin my solitude.The bird I saw was black and white and small,if thats you what a small world!

that would be me. sorry about your pole. and yes, dan it will fit just about anywhere. as you and your outlaw friend can agree.

Dogfish, was he wearing his lucky headgear???

FH5,

No, the "head"gear was not present, thankfully. I don't think it would have fit in the cockpit.

Andy, that is one UGLY pig. Those kind of fish scare me. That's why I stick to catching those cute, cuddly little steelhead.

Way to go.

I'll give you a call and maybe we can chase some steelhead in a week or two.

Thats too funny.I used to fish up in the bearing sea for a living.After 3-4 months of bobbing around in the ocean I would head straight for the trees.You interupted one of those interludes.I was in the canyon up above the flats,just above the steel bridge.I think I waved to you!I tried to hide,didn't work!that bird makes the country side even smaller.
I found some damn good beaver ponds thanks to a friend with a small plane.Do you charter?
