Don't forget about the beautiful 18" Native Red-Side! Sorry about almost dumping your boat.
Was Everette flyfishing?
YES! I swung some of my new steelhead creations in the morning, but didn't get any looks. I also nymphed quite a bit during the day, and picked up a few trout on a mega prince. Once the sun got low, I caught between 15-20 trout on the same little size 16 green drake. Same 4X tippet, same fly, same knot. It was awesome.
As I have never caught a steelhead or salmon on the fly, I can' say for sure what my preference, but I really do like catching trout on the fly.
They plant trout from greenwood down. I think it could have been even better but, once again, they are letting the more than usual water out of the dam. Although the water was warming up from the sun. I wish we could have had video of Everet behind the oars on that second chute....It was funny ! He did a great job rowing though. Im sure we could have hit a steelhead or two but i have gotten lazy on my scent controll and i wasn't running the line i wanted on my plug rods....i was lazy and tired ( only 2 hours sleep ) but it was a blast of a day. One of those great ways to start winding down the season...can't wait for the Siuslaw tidewater !
