Trinity River 12-30-09

Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!!!!  Well this is my last report for 2009...Thank you for all your support and friendship.  We got a nice snow day yesterday.  We are still finding the steelhead.  All the fish have all been hatchery fish.  I know the wild fish are moving and will be here soon.  I still have great dates for January.  

Trinity River 12-23-09

Ho Ho Ho. I got to fish with my father today.  The steelhead are on the move.  Lots of pressure today, but fishing was good.

Trinity River 12-22-09

The storms have started the winter run.  I will taking a few days off to fish with my family this week.  The number of steelhead are increasing in the lower river.  I hope everyone has great Christmas and Happy New Year.  Thank you to everyone who fished with me in 2009.  We look forward to the 2010 season.  Merry Christmas from Huber family.

  

Trinity Rivers 12-11-09

The storms have finally started.  With rain in the afternoon forecasted for today, I woke up to snow.  I think I am going to become a weather person in my next life.  What job can you have and be wrong 50% of the time?.  I just love fishing in the snow.  We had a great day going 3 for 5.  The steelhead were all hatchery in the 5 to 6 lbs range.  The bigger storms are coming in the weekend.  This will kick this river into high gear with winter steelhead.

 

Trinity Rivers 12-6-09

The action has been tough with no rain.  We are  working hard for our clients fish.  We are going to see the fishing pick up with some weather.  It looks like we are going to get some storms all week.  Check out Jim's first steelhead.  

  

Trinity Rivers 11-14-09

The weather was cold and sunny today.  The boat pressure was very heavy.  It took us a while, but we landed 2 nice adults.  Peggy and Bill were very glad we had the heater in the boat.

Trinity Rivers 11-12-09

The steelhead fishing has been tough this week.  We have landed adults everyday.  The numbers will start to pick up with the rain and colder weather.  Check out Jim's video on his steelhead.

  

 

Trinity River 10-30-09

The fishing on the Trinity has been work. I know that there is a lot of talk about what has happen to the fish.  Our salmon season for 2009 is almost done and we will be switching to steelhead.  The steelhead numbers look good.  Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.  I want to thank everyone for reading the fishing report and emails

Klamath / Trinity Rivers 10-09-09

The fishing season on the Klamath has come to end for us this year.  We had a great time and I hope you did too.  Here are some last minute picture still to post.  I am home on the Trinity.  I was hoping for a better start, but I still have great hope.  We are getting fish, but the number of salmon still can improve.  A nice rain storm will help.  We are getting some weather on Monday- Wednesday and the fish will push up.  The steelhead season looks good.  Fish On!!!! Check out Glenn's first steelhead !!! Bryan with a nice tag steelhead.

  

 

Klamath Rivers 9-28-09

The fishing over the weekend was not the best.  We still got fish, but the pressure was heavy.  Monday the river was very light and the bite was good.  Here are some more pictures.  I have 6 days left on the Klamath and then back home.  The counts at the weir have really increased last week.  We are going to have a big salmon and steelhead season on the Trinty.  Do not wait for dates.  Fish On!!!

 

  

Klamath Rivers 9-22-09

The fishing derby went very well for the D.P.R boy's.  We took second in both length and wild cards.  Rock, paper, scissors... nice job Ralph.  The past few days have been great with new fishing coming in.  Here are a few picture of our catches.....More to come.  Fish On!!!!!

  

Klamath Rivers 9-16-09

The fishing has been tough the last couple of days.  We have been getting 6 to 8 fish a day with jacks and a few nice adults.  The tides are better over the weekend and the fish should push in.  I have some great families the last couple of days.  Here is a great fighting fish picture.  We are in the big A.F.F derby Friday and Saturday.  Any place but last.........

 

Klamath Rivers 9-11-09

The fishing is just getting better.  We had our limit for the last 2 days.  We had a great time betting on who is going to get the next fish.  Here are a few pictures.  Check out my open dates.  Sorry David I will add your picture later......Thanks  Steve

 

 

Klamath Rivers 9-08-09

The water was a little more peaceful after a the long weekend.  We headed out for fun fishing day today.  We started out the day with helping a boat off the rocks.  We got to our first hole and Gary made a cast upstream.  The rod loaded up and the fight was on.....45 minutes.  We  landed a 26 lbs salmon.  Our 3 pass,  John and I hooked the same salmon...I think he was hungry.  The fish are starting to move into the holes and more fish are moving in.  More to come soon........Fish On

Klamath Rivers 9-06-09

After going home for a few days, I am back to work on the Klamath.  The first big push of fish happened this week.  The nets for the commercial season are done.  Here is a recap of the week.  I only have a few open dates......We told you it was going to be a great season.  l have a few open dates for the Trinity early season.  Fish On!!!!

  

 

Klamath Rivers 8-29-09

After starting my day a little rocky...With a lot of help from Mario and Kenny I got back to fishing.  The bite was a little slow today, we still landed some nice adults.  The fish are moving up river fast.  The cold water is just what both the Trinity and Klamath needed.  We got a bear to come out to the water yesterday.  Fish on!!!!

Klamath Rivers 8-27-09

The fishing has picked up with the release of the water.  We landed 7 salmon today and I hope this is just the start of a big September salmon season.  Tom had big salmon of the week at 18lbs. Ray at 72 years young, gave his son and grandson a lesson today.  Christian I will have your picture up tomorrow.  Fish On.  I only have 5 open dates left with me.  Fish On

 

 

 

Klamath Rivers 8-21-09

The fishing is still good, but will only get better.  Here are a few pictures to tell you about our weekend.  The daily average is 1 to 5 fish a day right now.  I just can't tell you if is going to be 2 lbs or 35lbs.  I am fishing the estuary on the right tides and up river for salmon and steelhead.  Allan White was up again (the new Gary).  Gary will retire at the end of the month and take over deck handing thru Sept. The was Kathy's first adult salmon.

 

 

Klamath Rivers 8-18-09

The fishing was fun with Alex and Andrew today.  Watching kids catch fish is great to me as a guide.  We hooked 3 steelhead and 2 salmon today.  We landed one of each with a few 1/2 pounders mixed in.  All the steelhead came flying out of the water, what a rush. Phil you got some great kids!!!! Fish On!!!!

 

 

Klamath Rivers 8-14-09

The action has been great with both salmon and steelhead.  I had the Brewton crew for the last 2 days.  We Landed 7 adults steelhead, 5 wild and 2 hatchery, 8 jack salmon, 20+ 1/2 pounders.  I would call that a good 2 days fishing.  I just had Saturday August 22nd open up.  I still have a few dates in August and Sept.  This was Keith's first adult steelhead.  Don't wait, Fish On!!

Klamath Rivers 8-09-09

The water temp in the Klamath has dropped 5 degrees the last few days.  The fish are ready to go.  We had a great Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  I got to fish with my boys.  Kyle and Jordan are now 14 and 11, ready to take over the business.  Jordan hooked 3 salmon landing 2 out of 3 all on his own.  That was way cool for dad.  Kyle just waited and when the time came went 2 for 2 on the adult salmon.  Friday numbers were 18 @ 1/2 pounders, 5 adults wild steelhead and 2 jack salmon.  Saturday we landed 4 out of 5 salmon.  9lbs, 10lbs , 13lbs and one jack.  With the help of Gordon and Glenn we filmed it all and will have it up on the web soon.  We got out early today with only a 1/2 day to fish, going 2 for 4 with another jack and steelhead.  With better tides this week, the fish are going to move in.  

  

Klamath Rivers 8-03-09

The steelhead fishing on the Klamath has been a little slow the last few days.  We have managed to hook and land some really nice kings down in the mouth.  We landed a 24, 18, 17 salmon the last 2 days.  I have open dates and the fishing will only get better.  I hope to have my laptop fix tomorrow and more picture and reports to come.  Make sure to lock up your dates.  Fish On !!!  Nice job Sheila...Sorry John

 

 

Klamath Rivers 7-29-09

The 2009 season on the Klamath has just started for us.  I got the camper setup over the weekend and now taken the jet boat up tomorrow.  I got a chance to fish the Gary Farley, one of the best on the Klamath.  We want to check out the river for moss and see what is going on in the mouth.  I was just hoping for one or two fish, but just want to be on the river in cool weather.  As you can see by the pictures with did both.  The steelhead are in get shape and just pushing up.  The salmon are starting to move in and out of the mouth.  Just remember we have a full salmon season on the Klamath and Trinity with 2 adults and one jack per person per day.  I still have open dates and other guides for a large group.  Please don't want for all the pictures, the fish are coming.  The Trinity is still seeing 1 to 3 fish per trip, the hot weather making the fishing very hard in the afternoon.  Your best is in the early am or late pm.  I will start my trips back on the Trinity in October.  Fish On !!!!  

 Trinity / Klamath Rivers 7-11-09

The week on the river has been up and down.  We are getting 1 to 3 fish per trip.  The salmon are moving very fast with the lower flows this year.  Took a float with Vincent in Junction City and landed this beautiful hatchery steelhead.  Action will get better with more fish pushing up the Klamath.  I have very limited dates for the Klamath, don't wait.  The fish are coming.  Limits on are 2 adults and one jack.  Yes you can keep salmon on the Trinity and Klamath this year!!!!!!!

Sacramento 4-27-09

The striper action has been tough with the weather hot, then cold.  Wednesday it was 97 and Friday we needed jackets and hats.  The fields for rice have started flooding and the water has dropped.  The stripers are in small groups in the Colusa area.  We have been drifting live minnows.  I still have dates open.
