Eeekkk!!! 😮 j/k...they are indeed a challenge, fished for 'em in Colorado...super selective and will only bite a fly while actively feeding, and will peel your reel faster than an big steelhead...my buddy's hand got bloodied trying rim one to save his drag! I haven't hunted 'em in Oregon yet...

Dang Mark, are a pro entemologist or amateur enthusiast? I'm not a pro speller or amateur enthusiast...;)

What a difference a day makes?

Same story in WA, eh? Sad state of affairs...was hoping someone would come through with a ray of hope...at least there's a few trout so I can get a tug...Still got my ear to the ground for the Rogue and Umpqua

Mini Slumpbusters...can't stop...I wish they made pine squirrel in more colors...or maybe I don't...these are rabbit...I do 'em in olive and brown with the squirrel Sorry about the photo quality....gross

Same story here on the Central OR Coast,... Temps up, returns down...tons of resident trout, waiting for the SRC to get up to I can get to 'em...

Don't need to, but kinda want to...wouldn't have spent all the money if I just wanted to sit on the bank...Anybody catching any summer steel?

Anybody gettin' any summers yet this year? Thinking of banking the Ump on a big day trip (can't do an overnight), worth it?

Here's my little corner, I just move the TV table around a sit on the couch...our house is only about 450 Sq ft so nor room for a man cave...we make it work 😀

@DoesItFloat , I just found this thread...do you live in the area? I'm in Seal Rock...I didn't know anyone else still fly fished here on the central coast, honestly I've only seen one other fly fisher since moving out here 3 years ago...PM me, we should meet up sometime

Good stuff! I was a small stream guy myself when I was in Colorado, 1wt and 3wt work, miss it sometimes but salmon/steelhead/SRC have bent my ear now that I'm on the Oregon coast

Thanks for the reply I found it just a few minutes ago, I like the "improved" riffle hitch aspect of the knot ...question, do you find that the knot wastes an inordinate amount of mono? It appeared that about 16 or so inches was cut off and brushed aside. I haven't had a minute to experiment...

Since drag is a non-issue...look at Maxcatch or Picifun...I have both on rods up to 6wt...7wt or higher gets a better drag, naturally

Very nice write up! I enjoyed that. I'm interested in that knot and can't find it online do you have a link for it?

This is a post I did on another forum with almost the same question...thought some of it may apply Remember, winter steelhead are typically not hungry, they are territorial because they just came into this cramped river after swimming around in the wide open ocean AND they're full of love...
