Getting to the river was a little interesting this morning with a good covering of snow making driving and launching the boat somewhat difficult, but it was worth the effort as water conditions remain ideal for flyfishing. Being the only boat on the water made for a quiet day of floating down the river and hooking a few steelhead. Our best tactics continue to be fishing under an indicator, locating fish in a variety of water. These high winter tides and a steady water level have created a constant flow of fish, so fish deep into the tailouts and poke around in the pocket-water. By the time the dipping temperatures wore down our common sense and convinced us it was time to hit the take-out we had put four fish to the boat including a very nice hatchery hen. With colder temperatures in the mountains most of the precipitation will fall as snow keeping the rivers in good shape. If you are interested in experiencing some of Oregon's finest winter steelheading give me a call at 541-961-7749.
