The tone in Mark’s voice suggested that he had watched the weather this morning and, that the forecast did not call for a pleasant day. I watched it too and took notice of the advisories posted throughout Jackson County. Nonetheless, S. Oregon’s weather varies greatly over short distances and we decided to head towards the Rogue and see for ourselves. He hooked the day’s first steelhead just long enough to feel a solid headshake, watch it go airborne, and throw the fly. Fortunately, we found another fish. This time, the take came in a tailout just above a fast chute of water littered with boulders. We held our breath and the hook held fast. The wild buck finally came to net and taped just short of 30 inches. It kicked from my grasp and we reeled up-perfectly ending the day and another winter steelhead season on the Rogue.
