The North is fishing pretty consistant these days. We've been seeing fish each day and that is about all you can ask for on the Umpqua. There is 2,161 steelhead over Winchester Dam as of July, 9th.

With the Williams Creek fire now in mop up stage, you can once again park along the highway from Susan Creek to Mott Bridge. This should do a lot as far as spreading out the pressure.

The Rogue has been seeing good numbers of fish over Gold Rey, and the fishing is slow. Seen some good fish though. The fishing on the Rogue will improve as the river level drops and the fly only restrictions go into effect.

 

We've seen some pretty good fishing so far this year, it has just started to taper off a bit. Though I'm hoping the slow fishing is due to our first real heat-wave this year.

This was Lindsay's first attempt at steelheading, congrats on two nice fish. We had to end the day short due to wader failure, so I got to go out and fish the evening. I rose three to a pointless dry, all of them grabbing hold. Spent a great day with Steve Wagner of Spokane, WA. We ended the day 0 for 3 but we did see some good action.
