its more complicated than it seems people currently working as (volunteer) for college at the leaburg hatchery program and its not as simple as it seems and its time consuming for the people who work there.

don't think its over yett i got chromers last year around march 28th up there i think the slaw is just a better February march run am i wrong?

so far this year 2015 ive got two coho to the bank in January lost a steel that trip on lake creek went 2/4 on alsea one day went 1/3 alsea another went 3/3 on alsea another went 1/1 on alsea another and that same day fished lake creek till 11am and drove to alsea went 1/2 on umpqua next...

For anyone who thinks salmon or steelhead fishing is hard , that just doesn't make sense to me. Watch internet videos on techniques and drive some rivers looking for spots and ppl catching fish watch. Do What they do and figure out how to fine tune it . Its really easy once you catch a few. Even...

You got good common sense, looks like you could become a good steelheader. Good job

try looking into some steelhead tactics that wont get hung up like 1/8 inch pencil lead or bobber and bead

I would start out by fishing the coquille river, the sixes and the elks river, and even the coos river if that has steelhead. Those are good places to start

Only on the alsea and siuslaw lol. Both those rivers have hogs too don't get me wrong.

I think that a lot of our runs seem to be extending out a lot cause we caught coho on the main stem umpqua in February last year even tho it was low water

Deep slower water. And I like fishing when rivers are Lower I feel like the clear water the fish can see the bait better

Fish from last year for attention:

Well I traveled south a little earlier this season and just like last year it produced another giant fish on a yarn ball :bleh::thumb: .fish was 39 inches long and had a 21 inch girth

100% coho I was there two days ago and banked two chrome coho looked that fresh. Both on the bobber bead. Also lost a steely at the bank.

not a fly fisherman so im not saying its bad or good but its usually true: "you get what you pay for." good luck with the rod i always love buying rods !

i like the owner side drifting hooks have never had a problem with either size 2 or 4 and we have landed 3 that i know were all over 18 pound steelhead and kept fishing with that same size 4 the rest of the day no problem. good hooks.
