As good as the fishing was before this past week of a dirty and rising river… We needed the change up.  The river is close to normal flows for this time of year and back in shape!  Some incredible steel in the river with ‘lotsa’ Chinook as well.

Multiple tactics are worthy for duping the steelhead.

Favorite sink tip this year has been 10 feet of T-8.  Favorite swung fly recently has  been the Black and Blue Searcher by Jeff Cottrell.
