Another spectacular time on Dan and Nancy’s fall trip to the Rogue River that started on their honeymoon 17 years ago. Special thanks to Jeff and Jules for our stay at grandpa and grandma’s property on the Rogue River. The weather was just great, and the temperature ranged from the 60’s into the 70’s. Dan was grateful to join Tim Miller for 5 days of guided fishing with the first 3 days with Steve Walser and 2 days with Steve’s son Kameron. They enjoyed catching steelhead on the usual nymphing bugs:  Delektable bug in egghead midnight fire, deep purple in size #4 and #6 and smaller Delektable nymphs in Delektable  Egghead Twisted Wire Green/Chartreuse size #10 and #12, Delektable  CDC Baby sizes #8 and #10, Delektable  Lime Juice #8 and #10, Delektable  Red Headed Big Spanker Sizes #8 and #10, and Delektable  Sure Strike Peacock Sizes #8 and #10. Of special note was the DRY dropper combo Delektable Mega Chubbyness UV Salmon Fly in a size #8 with two Delektable size #10 bead head nymphs below the DRY. They fished that and caught steelhead, cutthroat, and rainbow trout, what a treat! Steve and Kameron Walser had this dialed in, thank you boys for showing us the Rogue through your eyes. Mrs. Delektable flew in for a short trip and had 5 days on the river. Princess Nancy had 2 days with Dan and of course scored all the biggest steelhead of the trip. Again, we want to thank our great friends for making this fall trip so memorable, Jeff and Jules, Steve and Kameron, Tim and Andy, Jack and Angie at the Fishin’ Hole, Tall Dave and Jed, Heather, Kathy, and Linda.
