APRIL SUMMER STEELHEAD

Fishing on the Sandy has been a mix of fish but there are still some bright fish around.

This is the third summer steelhead we have landed so far this year.

Fishing should stay good through May.

SANDY RIVER SPRING STEELHEAD

SUMMER STEELHEAD

The last couple of seasons we have caught a summer steelhead on the Sandy river the first week of March. This year with the low water the fish are running a little later then normal.

This last week we finally landed a summer steelhead, they usually aren't the biggest fish but man are they HOT!!!

UNDER WATER VIDEO OF A SILVEY'S SQUID FLY

I took this video the other day of my Squid fly on the Sandy river.

Check out the crazy movement it has from the back.

SILVEY'S SNOW CONE

Since I have shown how to tie my favorite Trout and Winter steelhead patterns I thought I would add my best Deschutes summer steelhead fly.
