The Hood River is our local water. It's the place we go when we need a quick fix
for our steelhead addiction. The Hood is a small, intimate river requiring a shorter
Spey rod or a switch rod. While the river is small, the fish are not! Some of the
largest winter run fish we've brought to hand have come from the Hood. It can be a
challenging river though. When the water is high, the fish sit in the numerous
classic pools. However, when the flows drop, the steelhead head for the pocket
water. You have to pick the pockets of boulder gardens. Often, the fish will be
sitting in very shallow water near and around the rocks. Trying to figure out how to
get your fly to them is the fun part!
The Hood starts her journey in the snow fields and glaciers of Mount Hood's north
face. The river tumbles north towards the town of Hood River were it meets the
Columbia.
Fishing on the Hood River starts to get good in September once the glaciers
freeze up and the water clears. Winter steelhead start showing up in early
December and continue to ascend the river throughout the winter. By April,
summer steelhead begin showing up. The river can be productive until the
glaciers cloud up the water in July.
We offer half day walk-in trips on the Hood River. If you're in Portland for business
and have an afternoon or morning to kill, it's a great option. Or, if you're local and
need a quick fix for your addiction, come check out the Hood.
