Wallowa River - January 26th, 2010
supplied by: Winding Waters River Expeditions
RECORDED: 
44 °
FISHING: Fair
Well it is about time for the Wallowa to start heating up. Tom went down on the 25th for an exploratory mission. He found what he called a summer like flow ie lower than he expected. He did say that the water was clear and cold 37degrees. After nymphing with the Prince between 11 and 4 pm he only ended up with a Bull Trout, a few nice Rainbows and some Whitefish. He was unable to raise a Steelhead yesterday.
Between now and April 1st you should expect to see at least one post a week. We are going to be keeping a close eye on the Wallowa this year as it should be a great season down there. IF you haven't heard already, the Steelhead Train is on uncertain ground right now. There are some negotiations happening which could affect the train next month. First run is scheduled for February 20th. I will try to keep you posted on the fishing conditions as well as the Steelhead Train Status.
Incidentally, Morgan and I had a great day on the Imnaha last week. Caught a few beauties and enjoyed the warm sunny day.

Wallowa River - July 6th, 2009
supplied by: Winding Waters River Expeditions
RECORDED: 
85 °
FISHING: Great
We had some great days of fishing last week on the Wallowa River. The water continued to drop and clear up as the week went on. The Stone and Salmon Flies are almost in full swing on the Wallowa. The densest hatch is about 4 miles below the Minam Motel. We expect them to get very thick this week around Minam.We had some luck with the Orange and Olive Colored Stimulators size 10 on top and the Prince nymph was of course still providing underneath. The dry action should continue to improve. The afternoon/evening seemed to be the best time for dries last week.It is a great time to fish on the Wallowa.

Wallowa River - June 29th, 2009
supplied by: Winding Waters River Expeditions
RECORDED:
80 °
FISHING: Great
Tom had a great week of fishing on the Wallowa last week. The river has finally dropped to a level low and slow enough to fish. We are beginning to see the Stones and Salmon flies hatching up on the Wallowa. The fish have not quite discovered the dry fly but are certainly interested in the nymph. We have been catching 15 to 20 fish per day with most of them being beautiful Rainbows. With a few of those in the 18 inch range. The # 10 Prince Nymph is once again providing on the Wallowa River.
As the water continues to drop and green up we expect the fish to begin looking up once again for a few meals. This combined with the strong arrival of the Stones and Salmon Flies should produce some spectacular fishing. We are looking forward to a productive July. We are also looking forward to fishing below Minam in the Roadless canyon on Saturdays and then catching the train back up river to Minam. This will open up a lot of incredible Trout Water.
I will do my best to leave posts as we have new information and experiences on the Rivers of Wallowa County. I have also been hearing stories of 30 lb Salmon being caught on the Imnaha River.
Drop me a line to learn more about taking advantage of the Train Shuttle out of the Wallowa River Canyon on Saturdays. This will be happening until August 1st.

Wallowa River - February 14th, 2009
supplied by: Winding Waters River Expeditions
RECORDED:
45 °
FISHING: Good
Steelhead have arrived in the Wallowa River. We fished the Wallowa on Feb 14th on a beautiful day. 4 steelhead were hooked on the Prince Nymph with 3 being landed.
The water is still a little shallow but we are expecting some warm wet weather to move through the area during the end of February. This should provide an increase in flow and water temp which will bring more fish into the system. We expect the fishing to really pick up by the end of the month.
The Steelhead train is in operation on the weekends through the end of March. This is a very fun and unique way to access some beautiful roadless stretches of the Wallowa River below Minam.
