Icy cold weather but winter Steelhead fishing heating up

Cold weather and no rain has left many of Oregon’s best winter steelhead streams low and clear. For the fly angler with a stealthy approach success can be had. These fish were kind enough to get their picture taken yesterday. They were caught on lowly glowly’s dropped six feet off a thingamabobber with 2x rio flouroflex tippet and Winston BIIX 7 and 8 wt rods.  The next two months offer the very best opportunity to catch winter steelhead in Oregon. Rivers like the Umpqua, Siletz, Siuslaw, Lake Creek, Alsea, Nestucca, Nehalem and many more are in great shape. Get out there-CD
