Current River Conditions: Water conditions are low and clear. So, not bad at all. We haven't heard any "amazing" reports this week, but anglers are getting into Steelhead. Expect to get a chance or two, maybe more. More fish will arrive. A little rain will help move staeelhead up into Lewiston, Douglas City, Junction City.
The steelhead will move in no matter what, but with low clear water conditions, steelhead move slow and that can be great as long as they are in the neighborhood. Know what I mean? Most anglers are working hard for 1-2 hook ups a day and quite honestly that's perfectly acceptable. Add a couple big 23" brown trout into the frey and Bam! That's a very good time! Just remember, these are steelhead. There's not a lot of them. They have to show up. You can't trust them. Go and enjoy but avoid a numbers mentality. Certainly those days when the hook ups add up happen, but really... not every day or every week. The best days of the '13/'14 season are ahead of us. Rain always makes the fishing pop!
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: A variety of techniques, using your 8-9 wt rod for Salmon (in July-August), or a more adaptable 5-6wt fly rod for small steelhead and aggressive browns will tie you into fish. Suspending nymphs under an indicator, stripping buggers and leeches, swinging muddlers or PT nymphs will produce hook-ups! Even dry flies should be in the plan. Bring a parachute Adams! Hey! In July-August, the King Salmon will eat nymphs suspended under indicators. What a blast!
