Grande Ronde River Success and Creel Report

October 13, 2014
Paul Arentsen

We had a great trip last week on the Lower Grande Ronde River from Boggans Oasis to Heller Bar.  It is not very often that you can wet wade while fishing for Steelhead. We did not have great catch rates only landing 4 Steelhead for the trip.  Water Temps were in the upper 50’s throughout the trip and we fished hard.  Just not a lot of action.

Cam Scott one of our guides had a great day down on the Grande Ronde River near Troy yesterday however.  He had 2 clients who have never fished for Steelhead before and one who had never held a fly rod before.  The total beginner landed 3 beautiful Grande Ronde River Steelhead including the one in the image above.  The other angler landed 1 Steelhead a few nice Bull Trout.  Way to go Cam.  This proves that Steelhead are in the river we just have to work to find them and have a little good Karma to spare.

There is still space available for single day trips as well as on our Support trips launching on October 24th.   Contact us today to reserve your seats.
