Sandy River conditions

fish4life · Feb 7, 2015

Was just wondering if anybody was out on the Sandy today and if the river was blown out. Gauge says it is 10.72 which is fishable level but wasn't sure about visibility. Was thinking about trying it tomorrow. Any info would be very appreciated Jason

Fished it today from 0630-1500. Little lower than I like but definitely fishable. However, I did not get into any nor did I see anyone else.

Water was low enough for me to cross onto an island and walk down the middle of a riffle. I was finally able to swing some flys on my single hander.. That was fun! Brought me back to the old days....

Fished it today, lost one fish that was pretty large but dark(broke my line) saw some other fish caught but was not as good as I was expecting with the rain we got. Visibility was good, but a lot of the fish were getting colored up. Hopefully after this next batch of rain will push some fresh fish up.

The Sandy is like the only steelhead-viable option that looked fishable height this morning, but alas, could not get out today. Bummer.

Glad you were able to give it a shot, despite the lack of success. That adage, "Any day fishing is better than a day..." comes to mind

Just drove up the river from L&C to Dabney - still looks in shape. Wish those steelhead had places to hold along the lower river...
