Fished the NF Stilly in 1986,87,and 88. Found 3 particular areas off of highway 530 where you could park and do a lot of hike and fish. Never really paid attention to the name of any particular area, picnic table and fortsons sounds familiar. That was quite a while ago. The NF Stilly is the first river that I caught a Steelhead on a fly rod. It was also the first time I ever tried fly fishing for Steelies. It will always be my sentimental favorite just based on that first very magical day.

Sharp Steelie, I don't recall the NF Stilly being all that great in the 80's. The slides on the Deer Creek tributaries started to muddy the river in the last 70's and there was the massive slide in 1983 on DeForest Creek that nearly wiped out the native Deer Creek fish. Yes, there were hatchery fish above Oso; however, there were problems in the river above Oso too. Boulder Creek run was badly silted, the slide at Steelhead Haven was becoming more active, Skeer's was greatly changed, and Blue Slough and Car Body were silted in. The only place there was really any action happening on the NF Stilly in the 80's was at Picnic Tables and Fortson's, the terminal areas for the hatchery fish. |

Sharpie, the 'running deal' with Board members .. is you show up at the door with a good bottle of single malt and Joan and I will take care of the rest. Should have added: Joan doesn't drink much (wine) so you and I get to split the 'bootie.' |

FAE, Wow :eyecrazy: , that's just about enough temptation to move towards the Rogue Valley.

SS, the winter steelhead count is now over 18,000 fish into the upper 30 miles of river. I'm sure a considerable number have already spawned and are 'downers,' but that would still leave a heck of a lot of our 'finny friends.' fae |

Great thread - no doubt the Rogue is up there. Every day spent on that river was incredible. The NF Stilly was an incredible river in the 80's and never had a bad day on that one. Not sure what it's like now. These days have to go with the Columbia river tribs; Deschutes and Klickitat. Haven't fished the Rogue since the early 90's - bet it is still amazing. Fly fished just about every river in the Northwest and have to go with the four above. Not sure in what order, they are all great.

No worries Hammer. It would take more then those little Rogue steelhead to get me to come back for a long period. The Skagit gave me a 14 pounder last week. There are few strains of steelhead that compare to the Skagit's for size and spirit. They may be fewer of them but the Skagit fish are the best in the world. OK let me have it. |
