I've been on the lower river for four of the last five days. The last three were from Trout Creek to Harpham. There are steelhead well distributed throughout the upper reaches of river. The three day trip produced some solid steelhead fishing. Jeff and I took a group of four guys from the Mid-West on their first ever steelhead trip. We had a blast on the river and they picked up steelheading quickly and were rewarded with some very nice fish over the course of the last three days. We even landed a nice bull trout as a bonus on the last day. Swinging and nymphing produced equally. The fishing should only get better as we get closer to November. We still have some dates available for multi-day trips. These floats are truly the best way to fish the river and see what the canyon has to offer!
