The Caddis Fly: Oregon Fly Fishing Blog

The same water that has been yielding good catches of native steelhead turned stingy yesterday. After the Oregon Fly Fishing Blog crew landed 11 steelhead last week I was skunked yesterday. I watched one timid steelhead strike short and that was the extent of the action. The coastal rivers are just skin and bones right now; we need a decent freshet to bring a fresh push of natives into the systems and get the fish that are in the rivers already feeling a little more secure. Until then it’s a trout show.
