Daily Report

November 23 2024

On Friday the much needed rain continued through the morning before clearing in the afternoon. With the recent rain we did get some runoff and in the morning the lower end of the river was running off color with lots of leaves but once it stopped raining conditions cleared up later in the day. The upper and lower end of the river is getting the most fishing pressure on a daily basis. If your willing to walk and looking to avoid other anglers, the mid section of river would be a good choice. With the low water conditions the fish have been holding in and around the deeper holes and larger runs. For those anglers who are fly fishing, dead drifitng with egg patterns, indicator fishing with egg patterns or swinging small streamers with sink tips have all produced results. For those anglers who are bottom bouncing or float fishing, egg sacs and beads have produced the best reults. Anglers stopping into the shop who fished the mid to upper end of the river reported getting into a few steelhead as well. Depending on the day anglers have been getting into fish in the Upper & Lower Fly Fishing Zones, Ellis Cove, Trestle Pool area, Sportsman Pool area, Staircase/Longbridge, Black Hole and the DSR.

Current Shop hours: Monday - Thursday 7:00AM - 6:30PM. Friday & Saturday 7:00AM - 7:00PM. Sunday 7:00AM - 6:00PM.

Suggested patterns:

Eggs: estaz eggs, steelie omelet, glo-bugs, sucker spawn.

Streamers: Egg sucking leeches, flesh flies, woolly buggers.

Nymphs: Steelhead hammer, beadhead stones, rubber legged stones.
