Chilly but Fun

Nice cold weather rainbow with UO guide Stefan Manole.  The fish don’t mind the cold. Bundle up and get out on the water this week.

Hooch Cam

If you're wondering how the fishing will be after this week of rain, our advice is to get on out there. The river right in Helen is running a little high (294 cfs as I type this) so you'll want to be careful wading. But it's clear and in good shape. The headwater streams will be very good. Dukes Creek and Smith Creek DH will be awesome! Here's the link to the USGS webcam in Helen:

Grab it with your mouse and aim it at the river!
