Despite high water North Umpqua produces some nice fish over the weekend

March 17th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Caddis Fly guide Jeff Carr found some gorgeous winter steelhead this weekend on the North Umpqua. The river is running a bit high but still fishable. Jeff was swinging articulated leaches on this Sage 13′ #7 z-axis spey rod.  His line choice was a Skagit 450 spey line with a 15′ type 8 sink tip. Prognosis for the North Umpqua is great, water is dropping and fish numbers are going up.
