Steelhead are Running!

kind of a big deal from ryan peterson on Vimeo.

Taking a steelhead on the dry is the dream of many fly fishers, and watching this footage only amplifies that desire. Ryan Peterson's filming on the North Umpqua is incredible and will get any steelheader's heart racing. Record numbers of steelhead are ascending the Columbia and its tributaries, get out there and put in your time, this year could be your year!

The Fall

Big browns, golden cottonwood stands, crisp mountain air, bugling elk, hungry rainbows, and did I say big brown trout? Fall is nearly upon us and so is some of the best fishing of the year. With healthy water levels and very mild temperatures this summer, our rivers are prime for incredible fishing through the fall months. If you haven't fished with us in the fall before there is no better time than now to book a trip for a great new angling experience. Give us a call: 800.732.5687 or 208.726.5282.

Late August Fishing Report

"August 20th, 2009

The Calm Before the Fall

by Bryant Dunn

Synopsis

As we head toward September, the regional fishing continues to be very good. Caddis and a variety of mayflies are present on the Big Wood in relatively strong numbers, the Trico spinner fall and associated insect activity highlights the action on Silver Creek and the Big Lost River level has continued to drop. Those who travel “over the hill” are finding fantastic fishing up in the alpine and the high mountain lakes, which remain as great respites from the sometimes crowded waters of the meandering river basins. All in all, it is an excellent time to be fly fishing in the central Rockies." Finish reading the report here.

Opportunity Awaits…

by Silver Creek Outfitters

Synopsis

With cooler than normal temperatures expected for the next week, valley anglers can expect to see fishing conditions improve on most of the local waterways. Tricos and Pink Alberts are in full swing and grasshoppers are very abundant this summer due to the tall streamside vegetation. Another byproduct of a wet spring is an abundant mosquito population, so wherever you go angling… make sure you’re protected." Fishing Report 7/29/09
