Fly Fishing Wood River Oregon
A gem of a Spring Creek, Oregon's Wood River flows
through forest and farmland with huge trout hiding
under every bank or prowling the grassy bends for
food. Migratory Redband rainbows and big browns
will challenge your fly fishing skills to the utmost. The
Wood River originates from a large spring in Kimball
Statge Park just to the northeast of Fort Klamath. It's
ideal dry fly fishing grounds if your up to its challenge.
The migratory Redband rainbows are in the river
during the Fall months. The large browns are
resident fish that hide under the willows and deep
undercut grassy banks throughout the season.
The Wood River flows through private property and
is best fished from a boat. Its currents are smooth
and steady and its waters never crowded. The best
thing the Wood River has going for it is that it's catch
and release only.
Although presentation is very important, trout can be
taken on the prolific aquatic insect hatches that
occur frequently on the Wood. Blue-winged Olives,
Mahogany Duns, Pale Morning Duns and other
insect provide good dry fly fishing opportunities. The
banks are grass lined and terrestrial insects are
plentiful. The large big browns and migratory
rainbows can also be taken on streamers.
This great fishing in the shadow of Crater Lake. The
stream has beautiful mountain views and is home of
many different species of birds including owls, hawks
and eagles. Not everyone enjoys spring creek fishing
but if you do, fly fishing the Wood River is about as
good as it gets.
