Solid reports back from the upper river

Solid reports back from the upper river, adult and halfpounder steelhead have shown up in good numbers. Salmon are now on beds, so be throwing the 'Legs & Eggs cocktail if you are dead drifting nymphs. Swinging flies will work great on these early season fish, no need to get super deep until the water cools off. A Rage head with an intermediate singing Polyleader will keep you off of the shallow stuff, but get an Assassin or small intruder right in front of the fish. Hoh-Bo Speys in black and chartreuse, Brett's Klamath Intruders in just about any color are great flies. Heck, while it's still warm enough, throw on a Muddler or your favorite skater and have at it, you should pick up some fish. The Klamath is good right now!
