It’s prime time on the Rogue River for juvenile and adult Steelhead. Here is another classic “double” called the Red Ant. The best way to fish the Rogue Double Style pattern is to concentrated on tail-outs, gravel bottom runs and riffles with 2-6 feet of depth. Swinging and twitching the fly as you fish it.
