The holiday crowds and brutal heat has cooled off here in the Fall River Valley. The Hex hatch is still happening, though not quite as prolific as a few weeks ago. Clients are still hooking fish every night on the giant dry fly, and having lots of opportunities during the day on drys as well. Lots of grass in the river to contend with...lots of big fish too which makes it worth the effort. Some truly big fish have been landed this past week on drys by patient anglers. Prime time during the day has between 9am and 2pm. I will be taking my talents up north soon due to solid reports of steelhead being caught in the Rogue River and beyond. The Rogue is one of the best bets to swing up an epic wild steelhead in late July in the lower 48. Then in August, I will be on the famed Olympic Peninsula on the coast of Washington, swinging up steelhead and sea run cutthroat on those beautiful rainforest rivers...bookings will be very limited.
