Stamp River - Very Low and Clear

Great time for fly fishing!

March 6 2015


This weeks Highlights:

Stamp River Winter Steelhead on a fly
This past week visiting angler Grant was able to check off "Winter Steelhead on the fly" on his bucket list!

Congratulations Grant! That is not just any Steelhead, that is a beauty fish!
  The low clear waters and weeks without any rainfall accumulation has dropped the river into very low status.

Gin clear water had made the fishing even more demanding as the fish have every advantage with the visibility.

Challenges of clear water aside, this does help those who want to take on trying to get a Winter Steelhead on the fly.  The low waters make this attempt actually practical.


Current Conditions:
Very low and gin clear.

Lots of access with the low water.

Bright sun in mid day but fog in the mornings.

Call us anytime for the latest conditions! We enjoy helping anglers plan their trips with or without guides.
