"wow - that is a monster steelhead. The Dean River?"
Mike Bolt,
That was on some private stretch of the Kispiox. They stayed at the Bear Claw Lodge.

Nice fish Stimbo!
Here is a link to JD Ritchey's online mag. It's a great place for a random fishing fix. He also has up to date fishing reports for Nor Cal and So Oregon.
The Salmon fishing in the middle east movie he posted looks interesting too.

Everyone loves the Lower Owens. Mt. Humphreys behind, a Sierra classic.
Always wanted to float it, but never seem to bring my raft to Bishop. The good floats are downstream from here, I understand.
Beats bouldering, IMHO.

@ Silver -- Yeah, we heard about the Phantom. That guy was a classic east side character. Too bad.....
As for drifting the Lower O, it is done all the time (by a few guides). Some of the put ins and take outs are tricky, depending on the flows. It is a good idea to do some scouting before hand to figure out the lay of the land. The put ins are below 5 Bridges. Essentially you are drifting the section of water below Laws and opposite the airport.

Silver: Re your photo of your fine drift boat in the tiny stream and your comment.
I have a 16 foot Clakacraft ready to go.
Have you renamed it the "Clattercraft" for the noise it makes dragging over rocks?
Sorry;)
Couldn't resist.
I'm just jealous, since our quiver of boats does not include a drift-boat or a bass-boat.
Our Aire Puma ain't a bad alternative, since I don't have to trailer it and we've run class IV rapids in it.

Silver: I had a local guide/friend take me down the "long-float" part of the S. Fork Snake back in the mid 80's.
He likely didn't show me every "hot-spot" but he showed me some side channels.
I floated it almost yearly after that.
I still have dreams/nightmares about the Huge-Cut, that was the size of a fat Black-Lab puppy, in a side-steam hole . I had been fishing for Rainbows, and I was a little too fast on my hook-set for the Cut. Ripped the fly right out of his mouth.
If I had actually hooked it??
Would not have mattered in the contest. That 20 lb. + fish would have played me, and discarded me like I was a fat ugly girl.
Way too many boats on the S. Fork these days. Seems like everyone in E. Idaho has a drift boat.
Memories are usually better than reality.

Fished the Metolius today. Nothing large, but caught and released 6 mountain whitefish, 1 redside rainbow, and 1 young bull trout. All native fish. [photo[photoid=239602]id=239601]
