Cold Temps on the Grande Ronde

Well if you have not figured this out on your own. It has been cold on the Grande Ronde River for the past few weeks. With temperatures dropping below Zero the Steelhead Fishing has been a little slow. Our only attempts to wet a line have involved freezing line and slush in the river. I just received the Summer Steelhead Creel Report and it indicated that we were not the only ones experiencing slow fishing conditions. I do think the fish are in there and that we will have another solid season on the Wallowa River. We just need to give it a little time and let the temps rise a bit. I will let you know when the next Steelhead bites.
