Season Updates         Steelhead fishing

May 13th, 2007

First of all I would like to thank Glenn and Taj from Hawg Quest, and Bill Black from Spirit River for
taking the time to stop by and catch a ton of Steelhead.  We had a great time with you guys and we can't
wait to see how the show will come out.  I know it will be great because the fishing was great.  For those
of you who have signed up for our newsletter I will let you know when the show will air.  If you don't get
the newsletter you can sign up at
newsletter@thornebaylodge.com.  Glenn, Taj, and Bill left on
Thursday.  Bruce and Jake from Clackacraft driftboats and Nick Amato from Salmon Trout Steelheader
magazine were left to catch fish on their own.  That is exactly what they did.  With the final two days of
fishing we hit the rivers rain or shine until they left yesterday morning.  Bruce was so excited that he woke
up early on Friday to fish the Thorne before everyone else woke up.  He was back to the lodge with fish
stories before most of us had even had our first cup of coffee.  Bruce and the rest of the gang left yesterday
and I have to say it was an amazing week.  The Steelhead fishing has been spectacular so far this spring.  
We finished the week catching a record number of Steelhead.  I'm not going to post the numbers because
it's not about how many fish we caught.  It's about enjoying your time here and I know everyone that was
here this week had a great time.  We will have some video clips up on the website soon.  For now you
will have to enjoy these pictures.  Many of these great pictures were taken by Nick Amato, of Frank Amato
publications, during his stay.

P.S.  We also saw a Black Bear swimming across a narrow part of the bay while we were coming back
from pulling our shrimp pots.  I have also heard of several hunters that have had success this week.
It was a very good week!!
