Need to try for a late steelhead this coming week...

[Modest_Man]

My Fiance is in Canada for work Monday-Friday. I'd like to fish most every day. Pretty much anywhere in Oregon. I'm free afternoons Monday and Tuesday, and free all day Wednesday and Thursday. Anyone feel like fishing? It's been over three months since I caught my first steelhead and I'd like to try for one before the run's over.

If anyone wants to do an easy float we can take out my cataraft as well. Should get my rod holders Tuesday...

Hey, I'm game for Thursday. I'll be fishin' Tuesday as well, probably Jefferson or Hebo, but I'm flexible, just give me a hollar.

You fish 3 rivers or the Nestucca? I've only been out that way once. I hear the Nestucca has some easy floats...

Nestucca would be a good shot at a late fish, it has a late broodstock run, and the lower most drifts are pretty easy, its had a hard time with all this rain though.... i think its been brown for the last 10 days, and hasnt shown any signs of getting better...

Yeah, it's been blown out for a while now. Who knows when it will clear. Nestucca River Outfitters

The winters are just now getting up to the upper rogue, in numbers...

Very tempting...except for the 4.5 hour drive. I will be down there for a rafting trip in August though, my fiance's dad got drawn.

 

[Throbbit _Shane]

Nice! I want to float the wild and scenic section some day. Hopefully sooner then later

Pretty easy to get dropped permits, we make about 3 trips a year... out side of permit season is always nice too.

Looks like I need to learn plunking. Rivers are looking all high and muddy. Ugh. Any suggestions on rivers that aren't quite as nasty? Or spots to try my hand at plunking?

 

[SantiamDrifter]

First off, Its far from over. Dont worry about that. The rains were gettin now will have most rivers blown out. Some of the smallers stream might come into shape by wednesday, but the bigger ones wont fish till next weekend..... All depending on the rain and temp up high!
