We’ll take it

Dr. Tom Lambert and his father Tom joined me today. The rain from yesterday has brought the river up a few inches but the overall, the river is still a bit low and very clear. Streamer fishing was slow this morning but this afternoon the trout were much happier! A few new steelhead made their way upstream in the increased flow but things are basically done.

Another big dose of rain is forecast-ed for tomorrow, hopefully this will color the water a touch. Bugs activity was lessened today with the cool temperatures, however, once the sun poked out of the clouds briefly, caddis and a couple sulfers could be seen bouncing around. Pictured above is very nice late season steelhead that took a small nymph, and a nice brown trout below that ate a Trick or Treat.
