I've heard of good fish numbers out of "Ron-Dowa" and a bunch of fisherman near Minam but haven't really heard of success rates.

Anybody know if the fish are heading up to Wallowa in numbers yet?

it wasn't too bad. we left baker at 4:30am and by the time we got there, 2 rigs (6 people) were already in front of us. 15 or 20 people came down after us. We never got crouded.

thats not bad sounds like you did pretty good. how longs the hike in never been in there? my friend lives up off yarrington road up on top sometimes we hike down from his property one hell of a hike though about 1200 ft down tough for a fat guy.

it's about 3.5 miles each way along the tracks from lookingglass. rocky bumpy uneven trail. it's tough.

What are you guys using? I am new to this and am more comfortable just slingging a spinner but got the gear to do some bobber/dropper fishing. Thanks,

I'm really hoping to have a chance to throw some flies at them this weekend. Hopefully the rivers won't blow out :p
