Saturday Steelhead Alley Fishing - Exciting in many ways

The Cabin fever run along with a steelhead run was off to a bang on a fine sunny Saturday. While the water was a bit low and clear a number of fish were taken by all.

When flows are low try stripping an Iceman tube fly, but from a distance. These fish get a little spooky once the sun is up. Vary the length of your leader and weight depending on the flows. In the runs and shallow pockets try a double nymph rig with no indicator. The name of the game in low flows is find the fish. So, cover the water and be willing to change up your technique. Change flies, and weight to ensure you fish the entire water column.

Below is one our Steelhead Alley Outfitters clients who quickly got the nickname California. It wasn't long before people all over the river new "California". We had a lot of fun and as you can see below, California got a chance to see some Steelhead Alley Chrome
