Rogue Update!

Teri and I paid a late visit this afternoon to a special spot on the upper Rogue River. I hooked up one big buck steelhead after about 20 minutes of searching the water. This fish was a real test for the new large arbor flyreel. With about three leaps the mean buck steelhead took me way into the backing. When it became time to recover line the reel pulled it in quickly. I was also quite happy with the working of the drag. Teri snapped some nice photos. Here are just a few... RG

Pulling him in after some big leaps and runs!

Not the least delicate moment...near shore with a dropper that could snag on the rocks

Another big pull...lots of spunk left in this one!

Looks like he took the bottom dropper fly...a Flashback G.R. Hare's Ear nymph.

A bright one!

This was one very bright and large hatchery smolt.

Teri and sunset over upper Table Rock

Teri enjoys the sunset over the Table Rocks. She also enjoyed trying out the switch rod with the new reel.... RG
