Swinging flies on the Mokelumne

[Tommy T]

I was going to be in the Lodi area late next and was thinking about fishing the Mokelumne if I have time. I read there are some steelhead in the river, just wondering if it is a good river for swinging flies with Spey or switch rods and which flies and techniques work best. I would appreciate any advise.

Fairly small valley river with hatchery fish. They don't get too big so a 5 wt switch would work. The Rio Switch Chucker would be best as it has areas to fish deep and other areas that are shallow. Five feet of T-14 to ten feet of versileader extra fast sink would work. Soft hackles to alevins. If that doesn't work tie on the old indicator and you can cast to just about any spot with the Chucker...

Thanks for the help I’ll give that a try .
