On the OPST website, it says 225 grain will work on a 5 and a 6 weight.
I believe the chart has the size tips also that is recommended for your rods.

Anyone know water clarity since flows gone up
To 6000 cfs?
Up to 6000 cfs today. I’m hoping it starts dropping this weekend. Keeping fingers crossed.
I have that very same rod. 400 grain airflow skagit short works good on that rod.
Unfortunately they stop Making it. You can land a decent size steelhead on it, I’ve even used it in the lower Yuba...
Been slow for me. Did manage to get a 20 inch Sqaw the other day. Trying to get out at least acouple times a week.
Should be some adults showing up soon. Lots of spawned out salmon milling around.
I had success using a clear intermediate and stripping an olive Bugger.
This was a few years ago. Lots of scuds in there so you could try a scud imitation.
Haven’t tried indacator fishing there....
I received a letter also today.
Excellent book, highly recommended. Lots of information about our rivers here in California and the steelhead that lives in them.
Nice to meet you and your brother Troutsource.
Andy and his knowledge of the American river is endless. He has some great fly patterns for the American that work very well. Some of my biggest was with his patterns.
Hooked up this morning. Didn’t see what it was, small half pounder maybe?
I always fish the river when the flows drop.
The full moon will have an effect. But I still fish
Anyway. You never...
The drop in flows , hopefully it goes down more. It will help condense what fish are in there. Cooler weather should trigger more fish to come up into the system. This is my favorite time of year to...
Looks like a cross between a Tiny Dancer- October Caddis type thing?
I took my first Spey lesson from JP 16 years ago. Great teacher. Highly recommended!
Looking forward to this. Been a long time since we have had a Spey gathering here.
That’s a bummer. Most likely put the gate up due to homeless camps, discarded vehicles, trash.
Hopefully in the near future they will open it back up.
Did someone say striper?

Flows are dropping. Just above 5000 cfs now. Should open up some more bank access.
Definitely will open up more water for swinging!
Flows have been dropping. Might have had an effect on the bite?
Going to the Eel here in Cal in a couple of weeks. I would have to agree about steelhead here in California.
We are definitely on a decline here. I’m hoping we get a better return this year……...
Was out yesterday morning. Starting to turn a little green. Not so much brown as last week.little over a foot of Viz maybe.
I was out on the American a couple of days ago. Only about a foot of vis. As for a chart to see a schedule flow. Dream Flows maybe helpful. As far as being more fishable, I would say another week if...
Looks like a Silvenator. Tied on a tube.
Looks like the flows went up a little. Maybe that caused it?
I’ve got that rod. Wish they still made them. Excellent rod!
