High water and an abundance of Steelhead Smolts has caused some incredibly hot smolt on smolt action on the Mckenzie River from the Leaburg Dam down. Fish a dropper rig with a Royal Coachman Wet and a Possie Bugger and you will catch two at a time.

Uh, shouldn’t we be leaving steelhead smolts alone? Am I missing something?

You are right we really should leave these alone. Just making a bit of a joke on the fact that sometimes it is hard to catch anything else in the midst of the smolts. Hopefully high cold water will wash them out of the systen and they will return in big numbers.
