Anadramizer, Purple Sz #2
Klickitat and Grande Ronde- Two huge names in Northwest arid country fishing. The "Klick" was in great shape, but recently we were pounded by an atmospheric river and it is now blown. The "Ronde" is starting to get fish and customer reports are telling of good fish numbers and what sounds like the beginning of a good season.
Guide Aron was on the Klick back a couple of weeks ago for one full week. He had clients into fish every day (Which he said was unusual). However, it was not easy, at all. He said the river is as crowded with anglers as ever and the Steelhead numbers are low this year. He mentioned that slower water was holding fish this year, or at least when he was there.
If you like to nymph for Steelhead and want a good fly that gets down and deep fast. Give the Anadramizer a try and pray for chrome!
