General Information:This system over the past few seasons seems to be gettting more and more popular as a Steelhead destination. One of the good things about Summer are the resident fish that are still in the system and the lack of fishing pressure during this period.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches:Flows are at 450 cfs, and the Fly Fishing Only Section is fishing great right now for chrome-bright fresh chinook salmon averaging 10-20 lbs. This should remain a great bet into mid September, and there are increasing numbers of sea run browns starting to show in the system as well.

Flies:
?Ģ Yellow Humpies #12-16
?Ģ Elk Hair Caddis (Olive or tan) #14-16
?Ģ Parachute Adams #12-16
?Ģ Red Copper John #14-16
?Ģ San Juan Worms; #14-16
?Ģ GB Prince Nymph #14-16
?Ģ GB Pheasant Tail Nymph #14-18

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??There are a fair number of salmon in the 10-20 lb class in the upper section of the river at this time. Good action was reported on Rubber Legs and other Big Stones, Red or Blue Copper Johns, and Poxyback Hare's Ears. This is good fun while it lasts and a 9 or 10 wt rod is a good choice for this type of fishing.
