Eighty percent of the fish will hold in twenty percent of the water here.?? There are good numbers of larger migrating browns and fall spawn rainbows in the upper, open sections.?? You need to explore an above average amount of water to locate fish here.?? I prefer casting streamers like our Spruce-a-bu and Loebergs using a medium sinking tip line and using the dip and strip technique along the deeper cuts this time of year for these seasonal fatties.?? Nymphing the larger pools with PT's, hares ear, and midges in the #16-20 range will also get you into fish consistently under a strike indicator.?? The overcast days will reveal an ever increasing amount of baetis may flies hatching in #18-20.?? The wild fish here respond eagerly to this hatch and although you may not get a shot at "Brownzilla" using dries, it is still a hoot to get them on top!?? ??

The UOR will hold good numbers of larger fish well into early December.?? After that I suggest other fisheries.?? The UOR will begin to get frisky around late February dependant upon the weather we experience this winter.?? The early spring trout migration can be something to behold here.?? I have witnessed incredible migrations of Eagle Lake and Kamloops strain rainbows, as well as a solid population of Lahontan Cutthroats migrating upstream from Crowley in March. You can bank us guiding this area, and you having some great fishing during this time frame.??
