Want to find great local spots to fly fish steelhead near Portland?\u00a0 The Clackamas River is home to steelhead, salmon, trout and wildlife just minutes from Portland, OR.\u00a0 This class focuses on helping the bank bound angler find the best places to go, what time of year, what water levels to go and how to do it for steelhead.<\/p>\n

We start at\u00a0Royal Treatment Fly Shop<\/a>\u00a0with coffee and donuts. Times will vary a bit by date. We\u2019ll review maps that will give you at least a dozen productive steelhead runs that you<\/p>\n

can drive and walk to, often these are spots we personally fish. With coffee in hand we\u2019ll discuss the maps, fish run timing, river segments and techniques used in detail.<\/p>\n

Then when we\u2019ve reached proper caffeine level we\u2019ll grab a bunch of gear and head out to the water. We will tour the river from the bank bound angler point of view showing you the sweet spots with public access; some easy to find some not so easy. One focus will be to discus what water levels to fish and what part of the river to fish when (what seasons and water levels to fish where).\u00a0 On the water we will cover: fishing techniques, fishing strategy, fly selection and more. Here we will coach you through the most effective fishing approaches while on the water. This is also time to talk about lines, rods and rigging. We\u2019ll have plenty of spey rods and fly lines for you to try out and get a feel for different systems.<\/p>\n

If we actually catch a fish, it will be by accident. The purpose of this workshop is to give you the tools you need to find, read, and properly fish good steelhead water the actual fishing will be secondary.<\/p>\n

Around mid-day we\u2019ll break for a hungry man\u2019s hot lunch which we provide and then head on to some more spots with steelhead water you\u2019ll want to drool on!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
