Williamson River - September 17th, 2003
supplied by: Trophy Waters
FISHING: Good
The fish have all been stuck twice. They're stacked in the low clear pools. The hex hatch is over.
You might still have some great days if you know the river, but I wouldn't spend my hard earned day off here. Still, the fish are huge and if you want to do battle, go with a plan. Clear lines. Flourocarbon leaders, 5x 9-12ft. And fish the small stuff. Your favorite soft hackle in #18 or #20 and yes that's for the big fish. Throw some brown, or black dubbed leeches when the sun is off the water. This fishery will be like a tempermental light switch for the rest of the season. On or Off. A banner day, or a bust.
Mike Trask of Rogue River Oregon tells us that the Williamson was worth his trip. With two entry level fishers in the boat the managed to hang 5 big trout. Only one big fish landed, not an uncommon ratio for this river. He said the hot fly was a small #18 or #16 Flashback P.T. With a swagger on his face, reminiscent to that of Luke Skywalker when Obi-Wan Kenobi agreed to lead Luke through the allderon , Mike noted that the guide at the lodge where he stayed only hooked 2 for the day.
For a shuttle on the river try the general store in Fort Klamath. Also, a great "shuttle-less" trip is to put in at the Water Wheel(there is a fee) camp ground and fish down stream for a few hours to the first riffle. Rowing back to the ramp is no problem if you don't go below the riffle.

Our upstream river correspondent (above Chiloquin) Jim Walthers reports that the holes in front of his house that can have dozens of big fish, in late summer and fall, are empty. Jim offered no theory, but commented that in the "olden days" this area of river always maintained a tea color to it. He noted that the river this year is "gin" clear again and wonders if the lack of visual shelter is not inviting enough to get them up stream. Aside from being a expert flyfisher, Jim donates many hours of his spare time to the Williamson River Clean-up.
