We spent a few days in Hells Canyon chasing the elusive steelhead and left the walleye to the other guys for once. It turned into one heck of a trip, with day one producing five beautiful steelhead and plenty of action in between.

If you haven’t experienced Hells Canyon yet, put it on your bucket list. The scenery is absolutely stunning, the lodging is top-notch, and the hospitality is as good as it gets. Great food, great people, and great fishing—hard to beat a combo like that.
