Umpqua River - August 10th, 2004

FISHING: Great
This past week we ran down to the main stem of the Umpqua to enjoy some excellent Smallmouth Bass action. Fortunately we had overcast both mornings and mild afternoon temperatures later on. You can really bake this time of year down there. Though we found fish right away, both size and the frequency of the bites increased as the day pressed on and water temperature rose. By mid to late afternoon it was virtually a fish a cast. We didn't hit any giants, but eventually were hitting a lot of mid-size fish that fought well and put a nice bend on the rod. If you are looking for a fun and scenic trip ideal for getting a child interested in fishing, you definitely should consider an Umpqua Smallmouth trip. For a good part of the day, the action is absolutely non-stop and we use equipment that's easy to handle. Landing between 100 and 200 fish per day is not uncommon
