Water levels are still up a bit, but fishing opportunities for Trout and Steelhead remain viable. The Middle Fork of the Willamette from Dexter Dam down into Eugene is still holding Summer and late arriving Fall Steelhead. It’s time to get out the Skagit Heads MOW Tips and larger flies like Pick Yer Pockets and Signature Intruders.
On the McKenzie trout fishing has been fair with best results coming on days when mid-day Blue Winged Olive hatches have been present. Nymphing with Mega Princes and small Pheasant Tails has also been effective.
There is still time to do a little fishing this November and odds are you will have it to yourself out there.
