FISHING: Good
Summer Steelhead have been a bit hard to come by in the last couple of weeks. I did a guide trip last week from fishermans bend to north santiam state park and we found one player(12 hatchery pounds). to fish this clear water effectively you must get a big cast. Try large leech's in purple, red ,pink, black and cherise. Fish will also fall for an upstream cast technique as well. Use Otis bugs sz 02-06 with a dropper behind that. Seems as though most of the fish are from fishermans bend upstream to the hatchery.
