I saw that forecast and damn near played hooky...oh well, guess I'll just have to settle for whatever the temps are on Sat...

with regard to flies, what's a "pocket rocket"?

Just another leech pattern, cast very well on small trout speys and works.
 
Had a blast today up from town. Went 0-3 on the swing. Had two fish give me head shakes with one coming out of the water while giving me the fin. Not sure why I couldn’t hook up today. The grabs were soft. No problem finding slow swinging water up from the gate. A little more difficult below. Hooked a larger short finned grayling under and indicator. Water had a little color. We will be back at it tomorrow but might check out the river below town. It was a beautiful day. Got pretty gusty in the afternoon. Thanks for all the info. Hoping tomorrow I can keep them buttoned!

I'd fish upstream of Maupin.. the further downstream you go the poorer the trout fishing. In a general sense.

I would second this advice. I am always in search of steelhead on the D but my once l incidental catches of quality trout are greater above Maupin. Olive leaches and the like are a good bet, again take this as incidental success for me. They are really cool fish. I plan to go back there and fish for trout. I'm just such a struggling trout angler the hatches etc intimidate me. I'll probably just swing streamers in the area above.
