I have been seeing and hearing about some nice fish being caught on the Lower, with some bigger fish showing up later in the run there are good opportunities and decent number still in the river. Nymphing and swinging have been good bets and fish are being caught on both techniques recently. Some favorite bugs for us down there are the hot double bead stone and Hickman’s fish taco. Steelhead will spend the winter in the river and spawn in the spring, returning to the ocean after that to do it all again, the fish are spread out and fishing can be good from well below Maupin all the way to Warm Springs.
