Try the Middle Fork of the Willamette for large catch & release rainbows.
Thanks for the tips guys. Where should I go for finding those steelhead?
Where exactly is the middle fork and how do I get there from Eugene?
Follow hwy 58 east out of Eugene, it follows the middle fork as far as oakridge.
You might try blue fox spinners or lil' cleo's. I would look for them in riffle water that is about 3-5 ft. deep or gravely tailouts above a good rapid, always good holding water.
One more quick question guys. Are there any regulations this time a year I should know about? For example any species of salmon I can't keep, or any length requirements?
Also I need to pick up a fishing license for the week, but if I use my relative's address will I be able to pay the residence fee or when I buy the license do I need to show some sort of proof that I live in the state? In California you don't need to show a driver's license or anything when you purchase your fishing license.
Thanks for the tip.
If anyone is going to be around the Row during this time hit me up and maybe we can meet up and if you show me the area a little bit I'll give you a bunch of my custom tied fly-jigs.
Travel up stream quite far, the farther up stream you go the better the fishing is, small bead head flies if you fly fish; if you are a spin angler then I recommend small spinners and spoons. Great Cutthroat population in that water shed. Tight lines and be safe on the water.

Any specific colors on the flies?
