So last month I (Kirk) had the opportunity to go steelhead (oceangoing trout) fishing in Idaho with my Dad and some friends. I had a blast, the fishing was awesome, the scenery some of the best, and the company wasn't too bad either. The first few days I went up with my old bishop Dee Wheeler and his son Todd. The fishing was great the first day between the 3 of us we probably landed nearly 30 fish and lost many more. Then my dad was able to drive up early Friday morning and fish all day Friday and Saturday. We drove back Saturday afternoon, and then I had some friends from the RL come into town Sunday night and we drove back up to fish more on Monday and Tuesday.
So when we got to the Salmon river on Monday morning with my buddies the water had come up a ton, so where we had been fishing the week before with my dad was unfishable. We spent most of Monday morning just trying to find somewhere that was fishable and we finally found it early afternoon. It was fun to get Shawn and Josh into some fish. It was their first time steelhead fishing and we had a blast. Here are a few pictures from my trip with them. It was good to spend quality time in the outdoors with good friends and family.
Josh with a nice steelie!
Shawn with one of his many fish!
