Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

1st Annual NEFF Steelhead BASH!

I dont really fish the salmon runs anyway. Im sure they dont lie about fish in the river (not a way to run a business) but they probably do try and hype them up a bit.
 
I find them to be consistant with what I see happening.

I post the DSR daily report on here, because like LyNcH I use to have a seasonal pass and was down in there.

The problem I see is they may get a report of a good run coming through the Meadows and your up at the Glide and not see it.

Life is timing....

So until I feel the DSR reports are totally out of whack or they piss me off in some other way... You can find it here.
 
Either they will sustain 335, or not do the 750 release...BUt if they do the white water release this weekend, it will be 750...

HOwever, after todays float, I dont think ill be leaving MASS to fish for sharks... The fishing is absolutely off the hoooook
 
Just got word that whitewater release wont be happening......

Tom,

Yes sir! Now meet me at Shunpike Rest area off Rt 2 on Sat morning..DEERFIELD TIME haha In all seriousness, let me kno if you wanna float on Sat.
 
My buddy called me a few hours again and landed a few mud sharks in the ball park...Only a few moving through.

No sign of steel or browns up that far yet, HOWEVER, there were some BRUTES caught earlier this week int he lower DSR...

ANYDAY NOW BOYS!!!!!!!
 
Hey guys,

Water is going up to 750cfs TONIGHT and the lowe river is reading 63 degrees on the thermo...After tonights cold rain, expect water temps to tickle 60 and the fish beginning to pour in...Wont be long until chrome have infiltrated the river.

The only problem is the 4.6 million guys up there from now until C-day...

Not a problem anymore as I have the steelhead hustler!

ALSO, I STILL NEED SOME PM'S FROM THOSE ATTENDING LETTING ME KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BRINGING. PHIL I KNOW I SUGGESTED A FEW THINGS TO YA, JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DECIDE.

GOLDEN BEETLE, ARE YOU ATTENDING?
 
Simms:

What are you drinking tonight !!! ???

Good stuff what ever it is.

Just better not be something that went up your nose.
 
Hello Boys,

With all this food we are bringing, we forgot the most important thing, A MEANS TO HEAT THE FOOD :)

I will be able to aquire a grill from a buddies camp up there, however we will need one more grill. Does anyone have the ability to bring a grill? If so it would be greatly appreciated!!! PM ME!

****************

My pops is up there now and had a blood bath today. Two huge pods pushed into and out of the DSR. There are fish up as far as Pineville. SOME browns and chrome mixed in. A few more cold nights of rain/temps and were going to be looking good. I will be up next weekend. Taking a few clients out on the Deerfield this weekend if it ever clears...

Tight Lines boys!!!
 
i would appreciate if my coined term "ring-dong" ( or any other variation) can be used when hooked up.

If you are not familiar with this yet, you soon will be come fall.
 
Simms, I sent you a PM...

I have some vacation days to blow, and I want to get up a few times before the trip...maybe I can try to link up with some of you, especially if you're doing some floating...
 
Hello Boys,

Water is still in the fricken 70's ont he river, however after tonight temps (air) are going to drop like a rock and some rain is expected...With Salmon not even entering, you might as well hang your hat up for a little while longer if your wondering about the steel...We need some proactive fish to head right up to the gravel and drop some eggs!!!!!!! Then, the chrome and browns will soon follow...

However, if we dont get enough rain to fill the tank, expect flows to stay at 335 or even drop to 180...This means 4lb test and some tricky angling...Hope to god we get rain!

Regardless, Im headed over to the Salmon River NEXT weekend...I will have the rig with me so anyone who wants to float or fish ill be game...Gonna get an idea of the river and see how much has changed from the month+ of high water this spring...Fishing will be HOT or dead, so pray for rain! And of course, bring your hard hats, as the cooler carrying neandrathals will be out...

Phil, shoot me a pm back...(sent you one about easy stuff u can bring)
 
Just hope this NEFF EVENT doesn't lose any steam.

Even if you are just thinking about coming, get your name on the list.

Never too early to plan.


Check with Simms to see what is needed.
 
Full steam ahead lads! This thread is hotter than ever! Get those pm's in to me and start tying those flies! Im headed up Thursday to float the river and hopefully lay into some early chrome and browns! If you see a 'toon headed down, don't by shy and say hi!
 
Hello boys!

Fish are in the river, traffic is "light" and its going to be overcast and rainy up until the weekend! GET YOUR ASSES TO THE SALMON RIVER! I am leaving tomorrow night and will be floating the river until Saturday. Depending on water conditions, my only float my be Altmar-2a... It my be a little skinny heading into town, so we shall see...


If you see a grey 2 man toon heading down, say hi!

We caught steel/browns and sharks..

Name of the game, DSR reports are bullshit and they need more water!!!

Hello Boys,

I know we are all praying for water right now, but the truth is, this is a good thing. Let the cooler carrying neanderthals flounder around for another 2 or 3 weeks. Until then, KEEP THE WATER AS IS! This will allow brookfield to increase discharge come late oct/november to bring in the chrome and browns! BY then, the goons will be gone, replaced by respectable steelheaders. The 1st Annual Steelhead Bash will be LOADEDDDDDDDDDDDD with chrome and all will have a great time!!!!

Until then, enjoy the circus!!!!!

Will be heading west tomorrow night until Monday so once back, I will post a spread sheet of current member list as well as food list.

Those that haven't PM-ed me, PLEASE DO!

Tight Lines boys!

Look for daily fish reports this week from yours truly!
 
Enroute to the village of the goons...

Fishing conditions look absolutely atrocious for the next 5 days...bright sun and warm. Ugh.

Oh well! Will be nice to see some buddies I only see once a year and a great time to brush up on the Spey casting!

If you see a guy with 15 feet of t-14 wrapped around his neck, come say hi!
 
im heading up this friday and fishing the weekend....hoping this rain gets the numbers up throughout the river
