Winding Water River Expeditions

Wallowa River levels

A rainbow trout is laying in the water next to a fly fishing rod.
Well the Wallowa did bump up considerably on Wednesday of last week. It remains high and off color. It was not a total blow out. Tom and Jon were down there on Friday and able to catch a Steelhead even in these less than ideal conditions. The Wallowa River rose about 1 foot, was off color and running about 41 degrees.

We know there are a lot of Steelhead in the Wallowa, as the gear guys are still reporting to have successful days. Today the temperatures are colder in Joseph and things seem to be freezing up a bit. Hopefully this warm weather pattern turns back to winter soon. This bump in flows could provide a great fishing opportunity as the river levels drop and more fish are encouraged to make their way up out of the Rondowa area.
