Consider a guided trip in 2021:

[Bruce Litton]

We did a guided drift boat float down the Salmon River, and it was great. Both my son and I caught steelhead up to 9 pounds, 3 ounces. Then four years later, we did a guided hike-in, Douglaston Salmon Run, and it was during a period when steelhead fishing was especially tough. My son caught the only steelhead reported by the river walker by 1 pm, a nice six-pounder, and I lost one about five pounds. No matter, the next morning we on the river at Altmar at dawn, and I caught a four-pound steelhead in the first five minutes. We always do a charter at Ocracoke Inlet, NC, when down there. Once fly fishing reds in Charleston. Always worth it. It is expensive but it feels good to give a big tip.
