First steelheed on the Rogue

[Langenbeck]

Salmon has finally moved into the Grants Pass area. About mid day under cloudy skies caught a 19", 25" and 27" fish on an ice nymph. Here is the smaller and larger fish.

Larry,

Either Size 8 or 10 with a gold bead, goose biots for a tail and peacock ice dubbing. I use a Mustad R90 hook that is 4X strong.

Thanks Gordon

Looks like it's time to head for the Rogue River for SH.


Terry Thomas and Aaron Stiny both have groups going to Morrison's Lodge on the Rogue River in late October.
