Umpqua River Winter Steelhead

Spent the last couple days chasing chrome steelhead up on the South Umpqua. There was a fair amount of pressure but with some laid back guests we were able to get a little later start and fish behind the pack. Other than running plugs in only a couple of spots we focused on drift fishing yarn and steelhead roe. The shrimp pink, baby pink, and orange and white yarnies all paid off at some point one being more productive than the others. Water levels were perfect both Friday and Saturday although it was a little lower Saturday causing a switch to 6 shot slinky weights from 7 shot slinky weights. The south will continue to fish great for another week or so before it gets to low and clear. We do offer multi-day fishing trips on the Umpqua with lodging at Seven Feathers Casino included. Please give us a call if you would like to book some dates.
