I spent three and half days with my buddy Mike on the North last week and the fishing was very good. Rt 138 was closed for the first two days which, I believe, kept a lot of people away. We brought 10 fish to the dry fly with an addition 7 hooked on wet flies. We landed 7, all were wild and full of fight. :D

They reopened 138 but the 10 miles down river from Steamboat was still closed to parking for fire crew access.

637

I put a full report up on my blog with a few photos.

If you were debating a trip up this season the river should be in great shape for the next few weeks.

The north umpqua can be a magic place if you hit it with the weather conditions you did. It can also be a humbling experience.
