Winter season steelhead streams remain in excellent shape. The McKenzie and Middle Fork of the Willamette are at best levels. Eastern Oregon waters like the Deschutes and Metolius are prime for winter season trout angling. It’s method prematurely to be have spring like conditions and I truly hope we get some rain. Below is a list of flies you require to think about in your winter season set. We are so fortunate to be able to target trout, whitefish, steelhead, bull trout and more monthly of the year.
