Been a few years since I did a month straight guiding the Klickitat for steelhead, but since I was home from MT all summer and that the Methow won’t be opening any time too soon I headed down there to get my game on.

The best thing about the Klick is that those fish will take a swung fly just as readily as the Deschutes, BUT average much bigger and stronger, now we don’t pussy foot around with dry lines all the time (they do have there place here) nore do we dredge with the heavy fly loosing tips. A decent spey angler that can read water a little has a good chance at finding a swung steelhead on any given morning throwing classics or new webby type spey flies. lately the fly has been a green but Hobo spey in the small size, it just gets the most action on the end of the string, we do have to follow it up once and a while with some crazy shit but generally under low light they crush it!

Every evening there is some good caddis popping around and we have been seeing a few steelhead eating them but I have yet to catch a fish on the waker here for a few weeks.

Of coarse we have some dates available and we have even homed in on great lodging right on the river so if your inclined to get your own game on look us up were easy to find…..
