You tried small presentations? Try really small... tiny. If you still have no luck, PM me the location and I'll give em a shot!! kidding....
Good luck - I totally feel your frustration! One day they will just hit, the next show no interest... crazy.

Location is somewhere in the Clackamas drainage.
So what do you guys mean by 'small'? Last time I talked to an experienced fisherman on the water he was shocked that I was trying some nymphs on long #10 hooks--he thought they were too small & I'd never hook a steelhead with them. I'd be glad to stand corrected.
Thanks for the suggestions!
If small doesn't work go big and gaudy. Nothing was working on alocal river and I put on this aweful egg sucking leech pattern. Was a good 5 inches long and as big around as my thumb, 3 drifts and got nailed. Sometimes putting a bait right in with them and holding it there will get an eventual bite as they stir around and think something new is in the area.
