Clackamas River continues to produce Summer Steelhead
My guide trip yesterday was a combo day of summer steelhead fishing and dry fly fishing for rainbow trout. Steelhead fishing was slightly tougher than it has been the last week or so, probably due mostly in part to the high pressure and warm weather. We hooked two beautiful fish and brought one to hand. A chrome bright 30.5″ hatchery fish. It was Jim’s largest fish of his life and I was pleased to be a part of it. His excitement made my day!
We switched over to an assortment of size 14 brown and black caddis dry flies around 10:00 and had a blast catching rainbows on 4 weights. The trout were extremely aggressive yesterday and we literally caught dozens of trout between 10″ and 13″. We even caught a 15″ whitefish on a dry. Now that’s looking up!
It was another great day on the water! To book a Summer Steelhead or Summer Steelhead/Rainbow Trout trip on the Clackamas River call 503.515.3533 or email info@smallstreamoutfitters.com
