Sept/Oct/Nov is the most popular time to go.

I like October for a safe month.


The Trinity, Klamath, Rogue, Umpqua, Deschutes, and

Grande Ronde are some of the best rivers.


If you need any help planning a trip let me know.


Through Flywater Travel I booked about 20 anglers into guided Fall Steelhead trips to Morrison's Lodge on the Rogue River and

Grande Ronde River float trips too.



Mostly I just use a floating line with a long mono tapered leader and an unweighted classic dark winged Steelhead fly.

I love wading these rivers and I love fly casting and I love to feel the grab.

I use an old click-n-pawl or ratchet reel so I get to hear the music when the fish takes off.
