FISHING SUMMARY
6/26/09 Fishing Summary: The stream flows are coming down and leveling off, the water is clearing and the fishing is heating up!
The Wallowa River, our bread and butter stream is fishing well. The water is high and green, the type of conditions which consistantly produce some of the biggest fish of the season. Stonflies our out, but the trout aren't slamming them yet, so nymphing with a classic pattern like #10 Hares Ear or Prince Nymph.
Our other rivers are shaping up too. The Imnaha, Lostine, and others are all still running a bit hight, but the water is clear. Our golden stoneflies are finally out and in good numbers in the lower canyons, such as on the Grande Ronde and the Imnaha. Swinging nymphs should produce fish on all the streams, in the evening consider fishing classic western dries such as caddis, stoneflies, and mayflies.
Salmon fishing on the Imnaha has been hot! The Wallowa and Imnaha rivers will be open to hatchery Chinook Salmon fishing from June 13 through July 12 (season subject to early closure for conservation).
