Dear Fellow Anglers,
Who is ready to chase the fall monsters? I hope summer has treated you well and you are ready for the upcoming fall runs.
Smallmouth fishing is still excellent with poppers and streamers, but as the weather changes, we will also see pike fishing pick up. Additionally, the salmon and steelhead runs will push in strongly over the next week. The cold rain we are getting will kick these fall runs into high gear, and we are ready for the shift!
King and coho salmon, along with summer-run steelhead, will quickly transform this river and shift our focus to autumn migratory fish. September is such an incredible month because smallmouth, pike, salmon, steelhead, and brown trout are all excellent options. The coolest thing about this river is its variety, and fall truly shows it.
We still have some great fall dates open, so get out there and chase these fantastic fall fish with Ripple Guide Service. We provide everything you need and love to teach the sport of fly fishing. If you are new to the sport, no worries; we will teach you everything you need to know.
