Fished the Clearwater near Ahsahka and the Dworshak hatchery with my son. Weather was cold with traces of snow, but water was in good shape. Drifted slip bobbers and jigs for Steelhead. Fantastic day fishing! Used a technique that Russ taught us using what he termed "micro jigs", which were 1/16th oz jigs in a variety of colors. They worked great 30 inches or so below a slip bobber and 1/2 oz lead. We caught and released 15 fish with only one under 12 lbs. The rest were "B" runs averaging 12-14 lbs. The largest was a male at 18 lbs, which we kept for the smoker. Best Steelhead fishing I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Tight lines..
