Bright Chrome Fish Being Caught

Keeping Up with Kevin Brock

A quick note about locations: Kevin is currently fishing in the Smith River for some really nice steelhead.

Smith River Steelhead Fishing Continues!
The 2013 fishing season is off to a great start, with giant Smith River steelhead being caught just about every day.

There are some really nice bright chrome fish coming into the system. There were reports of a 23 pound steelhead caught earlier this month.

The Smith River puts out the biggest steelhead in the state of California, with fish over 20 pounds being caught on a regular basis.

The Smith River rises and falls quickly with rainfall, as it's a fast-clearing river. When it hasn't rained for a few days, it can get low and clear, and we'll drop down to an 8-pound P-Line fluorocarbon leader. Catching these giant steelhead on light line is an absolute blast! The steelhead fishing should stay good into early March.

Striper Season Is Coming Up Soon
The striper season will be beginning soon, and based on recent years, this should be a good season. It's an ideal trip for the whole family, and stripers are delicious eating too.
