Can anyone recommend a good guide for steelhead or browns in the river?  Looking for shore fishing or a drift boat.  A website would be great.

Thanks.

Hey dave I'm still ice fishing, but 37 degree rain and snowmelt is not a good combo for major runs in the creeks. Sure a few will trickle in but it's got to get warmer before anything major happens in the eastern basin!Could be a different story out west!

 RIVER UPDATE; Just took a ride and the river is up a little more(1800 cfs plus runoff) Getting hard for the bank angler to find fishable water but there's some left up here in altmar. Looks like good float fishing water from ellis cove up to schoolhouse hole. Orwell creek is bank full but not flooding( not really that dirty) There's bare spots starting to show in the fields finally after all this rain. Maybe NORTHWOODS will post how the fishing was today, as there's not many people in the area to talk too!The big Sandies must be pretty high today!

RIVER UPDATE: She's now running a little off color, which means the water temp will be a little bit colder due to snowmelt for a few days til the next warm up. A friend of mine was down there most of the day. Til noon it was real slow, but had 7 on and landed 1, from noon til 4 pm. River still at 1800 and Orwell creek is still high , but dropping fast!

I used to have a close friend of mine who recently past away( I miss that old boy) who used to fish with gottem.He really enjoyed fishing with gottem.There are alot of guides on this river, I know a handful of very good ones! I personally don't know him that well, but I know he likes to take alot of pictures! Do your research from past clients from different guides and I'm sure you will find a good one!     GOOD LUCK dwatkus!

Weekend River Update: With the water running high and cold, hook up numbers were lower than of late, unless you were on a boat. I talked to a few guides who said float fishing was spotty, but good. One of my friend's said there's some fish spawning in the back diversions of the main river now with this strong March sun. Same as winter, best times the fish have been biting is 10am til 4pm, the warmest part of the day. when the water temp warms up a little, they will start biting better towards daybreak! Heard there starting to get a few in orwell and the big Sandie's. Still got some guys out there, will give another update soon!  FISH ON!              snagger
