Until 11:59 PM today, Sat, 285 CFS - (Please check for current flows, as thiscould have changed)
A few lower water flow advantages:
1. This will compress and concentrate the steelhead more. Giving you greateropportunity!
2. The water - current breaks - holding pools, will be much easier to read.
3. Most wade anglers prefer this flow. It's easier to fish, wade, access your spots, safer, most anglers know how to fish this lower flow as they aremore used to it and its a lil easier to land that Trophy Steelhead of a lifetimewith less current.
4. In some places, you'll be able to cross the river to reach some of your favorite fishing holes. (dependent of current water levels) Holding some steelheadthat have seen very lil angler pressure of late. When the water was @ 1,800cfs (couldn't cross the river) I noticed some folks walking over a mile indeep snow to reach some of these spots. I would always joke with them andask them if they wanted a ride back to there car in my drift boat I'dhave to give them prop's for their efforts as normally they would be theONLY angler fishing a hole that had numerous uneducated, unpressured steelheadin them!
Warning! - Crossing the river@ this time of the year, no matter the flow, is not recommended for yourpersonal safety. (Please see below in last update - Safety related to Wading Video's - could save your life)

So....... I head's back in and put's on my deeper snow boots. Therean old pair of neoprene chest waders I cut off at the knees. I get's another150 feet out by the boats and realize the snow is up to my thigh's andmy deep snow boot's are no longer visible?

From the Mail Bag:
Randy, Nice web pages. What is an Oregon Cheese Egg Fly?
-
You roll a pieceof oregon cheese into a ball and place it on a hook and wing it out there. If you don't catch anything on it, then you can always eat the cheese!
Just kidding. It?s a color that a manufacture of glow bug yarn has used to imitate the natural color of Salmon, steelhead etc.. eggs. We tie small egg flies to imitate the naturals. Its like matching the hatch???
When the salmon start laying eggs the steelhead come into the river to specifically eat them, so its one of the best flies in the fall. Go get'm! Randy
