Wow what happened to JUNE.Shad Trips,Deschutes Trout,Columbia Sturgeon and Kings. What a month.Water conditions were great for all of my trips this spring.What a blessing.
Deschutes Trout fishing has improved since he full moon.If you can toss a caddis 20 ft you will be catching fish.Lots of Steelhead available in the Sandy,Clack and Santiam drainages.Springer fishing is winding down.Summer Chinook fishing ws good for a while but now it has slowed.A record run of shad over Bonneville Dam on the Columbia tells me that ocean conditions have been good.Oversize Sturgeon fishing is Good and we have fish in the Columbia that can't be landed.When four young men with egos the size of Texas pass the rod off 3 times and still only see the fish when it jumps you can bet you have a JUMBO Columbia Sturgeon on.July is pretty well booked up. I will be on the Deschutes,Columbia,Nestucca & Santiam Rivers this month.August will find me at the mouth of the Columbia River fishing near Astoria Oregon in the vacinity of Buoy 10 for nearly 1 million Fall Chinook and Silver Salmon.We still have prime days available for what is unquestionably Oregon's best Salmon Fishing.September we will be chasing Salmon and Steelhead in the Columbia and the Deschutes and a few places that will remain nameless. October Rogue River Steelhead Fly fishing trips are starting to fill up. Beautiful weather,awesome scenery and very willing hard fighting Rogue ADULT Summer Steelhead.Then it's back to the John Day River for the worlds best Steelheading.
