Early reports are coming in from anglers returning from the Dean River. We are pleased to say that Dean River steelhead are entering the river in good numbers and anglers are hooking them. We just received this report from our friend Bruce Nakao:
“Here are some of the fish I landed on the Dean. Finally I did get to be on that trip where guides would say of it, “you should have been here last week” This was last week. Our group of 7 hooked 113 fish and landed 60, of which 41 were steelhead and 19 were chinook. I landed 12 of 20 vs. the last time I was at the Dean when I landed 3 out of 5. My 36+ inch steelhead was the biggest landed this week and 36 gets you into the book they keep like in TDF for 15 lb. fish. Kenny, you will be happy to hear that I hooked 4 fish in one run with your prototype fly; two salmon and two steelhead. The salmon and 32 inch hen in the photos were on your fly.”
