Happy Halloween!

Rogue River Steelhead Report

The second half of October saw some rising rivers, a little tougher conditions for a few days and then some awesome fishing. I was on the water most days this month and there is no denying that October is a good month for a reason. Enjoy a few photos, and look forward to more as I dive into my Klamath season!

Colin Enjoys a fine fish at the take out!

Ryan Bittle of PNW landing nets shows how to get it done!

First Steelhead, and on the Swing! Way to go Anistasia!

Kinda funny how we only managed one photo of the many...

Homer and Kate Shared a few fish on the Klamath

Thank you every one for joining me in October! I am looking forward to next month and hitting the water again with many of you in the coming months and next year! Still a select few openings in November on the Klamath. 760-424-9682 or worthingtonflyfishing@gmail.com

Summer Steelhead - Rogue & Klamath River Report

Rogue River Summer Steelhead

3:45 am starts. Taking advantage of the early mornings. Steaming mugs of good coffee, stringing up with our head lamps, and beginning our casts before we can even see our lines...

Fly-Only on the Rogue River - Mark your Calendar!

We're just weeks away from the most anticipated time on the Rogue River. Fly Only regulations begin September 1st! This is when the river begins to quiet, and the most beautiful time on the upper river. We are set for a couple of great months a head of us! With good fishing beginning in June this year, our summer fishery has kept us after it and I am so excited for how it has set up the fall.

Around the bend - Rogue and Klamath Steelhead

September is one of my favorite times to chase steelhead on the Rogue. It's when many of our fish make their big push. The leaves are just turning, the weather and water conditions are very consistent and so is the fishing!

As October rolls around, fish concentrations increase and fishing remains fantastic. October is the traditional month we mark our calendars to get after it, though I find fishing is often better in the shoulder months of September and November! I'll be making my transition this year to the Wild and Scenic Klamath this year October 15th. I have a few late October Rogue days but its a tough sell to get me to come back to the October-Rogue-bobber show when we can wake dries with six weights all day for all wild steel on the Klamath!

If you would like to join a guided trip during Fly-Only on the Rogue or on the Wild and Scenic Klamath river in November, I have some great dates available in both September and November. Drop me a line  HERE

Until then, good fishing and tight lines!

Why We Love Summer Steelhead

It's early mornings and hot coffee. There's a slight chill we know will quickly burn off, but hopefully not before we get into our casting groove. The first tail out is promising, but the not so subtle waking fly is not. At least not here, for this fish. But each run is a new opportunity to match your fly to the fish and make it grab. This is the run where the fish feels metal, your reel sings, the rod bends and the net plunges.

Here is a shot that is burned into the back of your eyes but it was only a split second, a small portion of the experience.

It's summer steelhead season now. Wet wading, light lines, long casts and great jumps.
