Where the Oak Grove Fork flows into Harriet. Easy pickin's.sixteenvolt said:I have gear, but am an absolute beginner on the fly. Where would be easiest to hone my skills? I've heard below the Timothy Lake dam is fairly good fishing.

You bet. The smaller Mt Hood streams that get anadromous runs, like the Zigzag and Salmon, will fish well through about the first two, maybe three, weeks of September. Once the rain and returning salmon/steelhead show up, the resident trout seem to be displaced from their usual spots and are much harder to locate.sixteenvolt said:Thank you so much! I also have a tenkara rod that may help with tighter spots. Will definitely get out to some of these streams as we head towards the stream closing date.
