Things are looking good for productive steelheading in Oregon for the rest of this month.  The Upper Rogue and Applegate are closer than you think to Northern California.  An easy drive up I-5 into Ashland, Grants Pass, or Medford and you can be speycasting and tight line nymphing in uncrowded prime steelhead water.  I'm not ready to trout fish yet...there are steelhead to be caught!
