| N Umpqua River (near Roseburg, OR) |
I spent the week of March 1 in search of winter run steelhead coming in on the Northwest Oregon Coast - the Nehalem, Wilson, and even the N. Umpqua River. Not a single bite, but a great week on the water nonetheless. If anything, I learned the area and that steelhead like a bit or rain and dreariness. Oregon had seen almost 2 weeks of sun when I arrived, and it stayed that way through the week. Water levels were down and fish were tucked away. I at least managed a few trout here and there, but could not find the elusive steelhead. Maybe next time. Remaining patient...and perserverant.
