The river is definitely cycling – where as the best clarity is in the AM down low on the system. Good Counts of steelhead over Bonneville. We have not been on the river much over the past month because of the very poor quality of clarity over the last month. The Steelhead Ranch opens up this coming Sunday and we are looking forward to a fun Fall.

UPPER COLUMBIA
The river has been fluctuating in flows quite a bit which can makes things a bit challenging. Catching has been average overall. The recent cooler weather was certainly welcomed:))
Dry flies, streamers, swinging and bobbers have all produced. 15 feet of visibility and some nice fish around :))

The river is pretty low for this time of year and overall numbers have been a little less than usual. But on another note…. Our average size fish is PDG / Pretty dang good!!
The only thing we do on this river is swing bugs and it is worthy!! Our first group leaves today and we have five more groups until we back out of AK.
