Daily Report

On Tuesday we had mild conditions in the morning with the temperature in the mid 50's along with scattered showers, but as the day went on the temperature slowly dropped along with very high winds in the afternoon and leaves were definitely an issue. We got mixed reports from anglers depending on where they fished, some groups got into fish and did well, while others struggled and had a tough day. Anglers having the most success have been covering lots of water and getting into steelhead in the faster water. With the water temperature in the mid to upper 40's a variety of techniques have been productive. For those anglers who are fly fishing, dead drifting or indicator fishing with egg patterns as well as swinging streamers with sinking leaders have all produced results. For those anglers who are float fishing or bottom bouncing with spinning gear, pink, blue and chart egg sacs as well as beads have all produced results.  

Egg patterns: Estaz eggs in chart, blue, purple, size 10. Glo-bugs in chart, pink, orange, size 10. Sucker spawn in chart, pink, blue, size 6.

Nymphs: Estaz stones in peacock, brown, chart, blue, size 6. Rubber legged stones in size 4.

Streamers: Black or purple egg sucking leeches in size 4. Woolly buggers in black, olive, brow, white, size 4. Fish skull zonkers in black, white, olive size 4.
