Water Conditions — Temps in the 40’s, upper half clear and lower river perfect.

Fishing Conditions — Steelheading on the PM River is consistently ok.  There was a light push of fresh fish with the rains earlier in the week but they have spread-out quickly.  We are getting into fish everyday but only a couple.  So again, I would say to expect ok fishing.

Streamers have been producing better than eggs or nymphs.  The fish are spread out but aggressive and streamers allow you to cover much more water than drift fishing.  For non-fly fishers, plugs have been the top choice.

A nice fall steelhead with an experimental "Dr. Colin Kageyama" inspired streamer... more to come on this as we do more field testing.

I got my copy of What Fish See by Dr. Colin Kageyama at FlyMasters of Indianapolis.
