guides. Steelhead fishing is our specialty during the Fall, Winter and
Spring, these ocean run rainbow trout range from 25'' to 40" and will
reach 20 Lbs. Come see for yourself why the Indians called it "Big Fish
Water". February and March offer great wildlife viewing while fishing

in the spectacular setting of the canyon. Call anytime for fishing
