again the if my friends bring people they will bring you to where i fish and thats not what you would get by getting a regular fishing guide. We catch fish and know where to get them. 9 times outta 10 we dont look for them they are where we go not like other guides that hunt for them with their clients. That is where they pay people like me in gas money and food to go look around for them so when they get the clients they go where we have found the most productive salmon spawning grounds... That is where you will find the most steelheads. Most people i know that go dont look for the beds and actually fish the beds to where you shouldnt you should be fishing behind the beds. cause just maybe just maybe the steelheads are waiting for those eggs to drop... but thats not rocket science... lmfao.... they aer in so are the coho's and the browns are coming up right now too...

Try this link and it will bring you to a map of fishing pools on the Salmon river.

Best thing you can do it get a guide to show you not only how to fish for steelhead but also show you some decent spots.

Hope this helps..

The map really helped me find the pools.

Let me know how you do..
