Historically early season can be good. Mostly a nymphing show unless some March Browns or Blue Wing Olives show up, which is a day to day event. Big girdle bugs, and other stone fly nymphs with a pheasant tail or other little nymph dropper is a good bet to start off with. These spring redsides can be plumb and in great shape and the fishing can be really good.
Bonus news is that we are really only weeks or so away from breaking into the big dry fly box and the start of the salmon fly and golden stone hatch. Hands down some of the funnest fishing of the year. Can't wait.
Dates for this hatch are already pretty booked up. If you want to join us, call or email now. We have maybe a slot or two for multidays and a few one day slots! Don't delay.

Steelhead has been tough the last week or so. Finding fish, but the pressure has been light, a lot of great water is wide open, and it still is taking a lot of coverage to swing a fish up. So keep pounding and they will come, the battle of attrition. The nymphing has helped add some steel to the kitty if you really want to up the odds and aren't worried about "the how" you caught it.
If you want to take one last swing at the steelhead season before the snow flies and winter shows up, give a shout. Might fish better later. Enjoy the rest of the fall.

Trout has been really fun. The nymphing has been decent once it warms up a bit. With the clouds last week the conditions for good Mayfly hatches was there, so were the working trout. Forgot how much fun a good dry fly session is. The trout are in great shape and there have been some nice slobs with some real side pork on them.
All in all a fun fall so far and more to come. If you are interested in joining us, we have a few gaps, but not many.
See you on the river.

Trout has been pretty good as well. Some really nice fat fish that are in great shape. Noticing quite a few mayflies. The dry has been so-so. Keep your eyes peeled though for working fish. The beauty with nymphing for big fall redsides is the bonus steel on trout gear. Enjoy the fall.
We have a few slots open at the end of October and into November. The rest of October is pretty locked up. Feel free to call or email, we'd be happy to help plan a trip.

Trout fishing has been "ok" as well, at least the last time we chased trout which was a week ago. Mostly nymphing, but we did get a little caddis action and some fish that ate just fishing little Humpies and other small dries blind. This is a great time to just go "fish", still summer like, with fall fast approaching. Trout crowds are gone and you can also chase or stumble into a steelhead.

Have been on the Lower river chasing steelhead from Thursday to Monday. The fishing improved as clarity caught up and worked it's way down the river. Found fish everyday, which is good and the best days where Sunday and definitely Monday. Steelheading has been pretty decent. Hope it continues. If you are interested in a steelhead trip we do not have many days open, I would not wait. If reports and fishing continues to be good, better than last year so far, you'll be bummed you missed it.
