Winding Water River Expeditions

Imnaha River Steelhead Report

Jon went down to fish the Imnaha over the weekend and had some success.  The Imnaha River is still very low holding around 150 cfs.  We would really like to see this get up between 3 and 400 to bring in more fish but it looks like there are at least 2 Steelhead in the Imnah right now.  Jon and Cam fished the Imnaha between Cow Creek and Horse Creek and hooked up 2 Steelhead landing 1.
The Imnaha can be tricky fishing in these low waters but it can be done.  Jon had success with a double nymph rig.  Both Steelhead hooked up on his own rendition of a Copper John looking fly.  Jon is getting pretty good and coming up with some unique variations on a theme and having success with them.  Cam was fishing with more of an Alaskan egg setup and did not have any luck.

I hope to have a Steelhead report from the Wallowa River  this evening.  Stay tuned.
