Whats going on with these rivers? What's running in them right know and what are some good tactics to catch these fish.

light tackle light gear early morn for the kalama not sure about the lewis just look at the dam flows.

is 10# main with 8# leader too heavy. I had a nice steely break of an 8# leader like it was thread! Im a bit paranoid about going any lighter.

iron, the last I hit the Kalama they were biting on spinners with green tape!
I am going to give Bob's spinner recipe a try
its in "past tips" under great summer trick...(or something like that)

10#main8#leader is the combination i use when the water is this low and clear.what brand of line are you using that might make a difference. some people are using heavier setups some lighter it is a preference thing and how many hookups you want.FISH ON!!!!!!!

maxima ultra green on a spinning setup.
Also Ive been using #2 gammies.
Havn't landed one yet this summer (first summer stealheading)
