Currently most rivers and even coastal stream across the state are totally "Blown Out"....virtually unfishable because recent rains have rendered them so high and so muddy as too preclude any real chances of landing a salmon or steelhead. As the rivers begin to drop, plunking on the Umpqua becomes a viable option for early arriving winter steelhead. I'm hoping by mid-week conditions down on Elk-Sixes will allow for some great winter salmon fishing.
