Rivers on the Oregon Coast are really starting to clear. As the water continues to drop the steelhead are slowing down in their march up stream, but as you can tell from this photo some fish are not to be deterred. Until the rivers bump up I'll be concentrating my efforts lower in the systems. We were fly fishing today and again had a fairly productive day indicator fishing. So far this winter steelhead season has been outstanding and have rarely experienced a slow day. I have had a mixed bag of broodstock and native fish and of the hatchery steelhead we have landed all have been large, strong fighters. Give me a call to book a trip and take advantage of what is shaping up to be an incredible winter steelhead season.

Hey, I was thinking of putting together a NCA tying night down at the Rogue (either side of the bay) and putting out an open invitation to anyone that wanted to show up and put together some steelhead bugs.
I'm imagining it would have to be a BYOVAT (Bring Your Own Vice And Tools) and cleared by the Rogue site staff, but what is better than a nght of tying flies, drinking delicious beers (Brutal Bitter and the NEW Yellow Snow), and talking about steelhead?
I am sure TJ would be down to teach people how to tie the Zandoli Worm and you could probably drag Adam down for a Dee fly tutorial.
I don't know what you think, but I think it is an awesome idea. However, i'm just a guy behind a desk, wearing a button-up and khakis, with a brain full of steelhead dreams.
Also, update your blog already! I know you have been out hammering on these low(ish) water fish. Damn son, brag a little!
