| Tips: |
Cast in and around large boulders, and drift 4" hand-poured oxblood colored worms (other excellent colors include watermelon, smoke w/blue flake, "green weenies", and brown w/blue core) and 3" grubs through well defined deep "slots." Cast and retrieve Stan's Spin spinnerbaits.
The Umpqua is renowned for its abundant smallmouth bass populations. The area of river that Pro guide Todd Hannah generally targets runs through private land and requires permission from the owner to access. There is a strict unwritten catch and release policy on this section of river. Aggressive conservation efforts have enabled 100 fish days to be a somewhat common occurrence on this particular drift, making it one of the finest fisheries of its kind in the country. |
