Steelhead fishing rolls on. The days are shorter and the mornings chillier. Good numbers of fish are in the river from the Mouth up to Warm Springs. Wild fish have been making up the bulk of the catch this past week...always nice to see. However, above Trout Creek most of the fish are one-salt hatchery fish that are headed to the Round Butte hatchery. Swung flies and nymphs are both working--pick your poison. Irrigation season is coming to an end in Central Oregon. That means the river will likely spike a little bit this week (probably tomorrow). It might put a damper on things for a few days, but should get the fish stirred up a bit and things should get back to normal fairly quickly. The White River has been behaving if you're headed down that far. Good luck out there.
