- 12-19-92, Sandy River, Troutdale Oregon
-
- About once every 2 years I plan a trip with Jack Glass, a local guide
- on the Sandy river for winter Steelhead. Jack is an excellent guide
- and a genuine nice guy. I would highly recommend him to anyone
- interested in a quality guided trip also at a reasonable price. He
- does jet boat, drift boat, and upper river guided flyfishing trips
- for winter and summer steelhead, and spring chinook. He also guides
- the Columbia in the summer for Walleye and Tillamook bay in the
- fall for Fall Chinook.
-
- There isn't much to report as for as details on the trip. We had 1
- fish on for 4 rods. We primarily backtrolled plugs and bait in the
- deeper holes. Being Saturday, there were more boats on the river
- which scattered the fish some. There were 2 boats above one of the
- more popular holes that caught fish when they were flushed out
- by boats in the hole. Our poll on the river found 2 boats with 2 fish
- each and 1 boat with 1 wild fish released. The new rule (a good one)
- in '92 is catch and release for all non-finclipped (wild) steelhead
- in the Sandy and Clackamas. So there are fish available and the
- early success rate is encouraging in the Sandy, even if we didn't get
- any.
-
- The Clackamas reports still show little acitivity so far, with the
- major part of the run still due to start in the next 2 weeks or so.
