Kelts don't normally fight better, They may seem full of energy at the start but they lose their energy fairly quickly. Fresh steelhead just about always put up the best fight. The headshakes are faster and the fish are full of piss and vinegar. One reason why it may seem that kelts fight better is the water temperature is warmer at the spawning time of year. You need to catch an April steelhead with sea lice before you say kelts fight betterEvery Day said:
. There are many possible factors to why steelhead fight bad. It could have been caught several times, might have just shot some rapids etc. Those are just my observations.
Hook water clarity is about 2-3 feet high. Water is rising very fast however and is already quite high as it is. I'de imagine that after this weekend fishing will be done till July. If you do plan on going make sure you camp where you can get out if something goes wrong, don't tent on the side of the river like Ive seen people doing before at this time of year, especially if the temp hits what it's suppose to this weekend. We are supose to get rain the next 2 days and the snow level dropped to the tops of the lower mountains again.... lots of snow melt will occur in 4 days of 28+ degree weather so get out before Friday if you can. Good luck.
I caught 2 this April, late April that were absolute beauties. One on them actually did have sea-lice, which is the one I referred to as the best fighting chromer I've ever had, Ive never seen a fish come that high out of the water before. The other one still put up a great fight. Another reason the kelts may have fought harder than usual is because both were hooked in extremely fast and turbulent water while most of my chromers were in medium water (some were in fast but not many of those were landed).Sean_Salmon said:Kelts don't normally fight better, They may seem full of energy at the start but they lose their energy fairly quickly.

Thanks for the bad news FF i cant make it out this week now as im busy with stuff. I was leaning at Monday hopefully. anyone think the river MAY recover a bit by then or will it be blown way out.
