Rogue River - Upper - September 22nd, 2004

FISHING: Excellent
September 22: Five days straight on the river and here is what I observed. Two days of warm fishing, one day of [url "http://www.trophywaters.net/galleryPopup.php?recKey=2347"]red hot[/url] fishing, one day of stone cold fishing, and one day of random fishing. The good news about the Rogue River is that on the stone cold day, fish were still [url "http://www.trophywaters.net/galleryPopup.php?recKey=2360"]caught[/url]. Not true for any other steelhead river I have fished before.
The flow is now a confident [url "http://www.trophywaters.net/galleryPopup.php?recKey=2359"]wade fisherman’s[/url] dream at 1,100 cubic feet per second. The weekend boat traffic was high and the weekday traffic was pretty empty, boat and bank alike. The egg “thing” has started and steelhead of all sizes have their egg-goggles strapped on tight. Don’t forget that when the now spawing salmon are kicking their tails to dig spawing redds that plenty of nymphs get broken free as well. [url "http://www.trophywaters.net/galleryPopup.php?recKey=2361"]Stones with rubber legs, copper nymphs, pt’s, and skip nymphs[/url] are all good bets if some one is in front of you fishing eggs and you must try something different.
Fly tiers………..try tying a copper nymph with a orange bead…………
