January through early April there is nowhere on earth I rather be than the rivers of the north Oregon coast. These are the rivers where I first learned to swing a fly growing up on the westside of Portland. Everything about them screams winter steelhead. Emerald water, hemlock, cedar, salmonberry, ferns and an ever changing sky surround you as you anticipate the heavy pull of a winter steelhead. Heavy sink tips, large flies, good rain gear epitomize winter steelhead fishing and tides, hydrological graphs and perfect presentations matter. Winter steelhead fishing is about the details.
WINTER STEELHEAD
WINTER STEELHEAD DAY TRIPS
With five rivers within an hours drive, Tillamook Oregon is the perfect jumping off point for winter steelhead fishing on the Oregon coast. Weather, river levels and tide cycles are all important details in choosing the best option and as such, which river we fish is often a game time decision. Booking multiple days will often give you the opportunity to see the variety of water that the north coast offers as well as increase you chances of connecting with the ultimate prize, a fresh winter steelhead. Meeting time and place will be discussed near to your trip date.
