Ah yes, wading in the North Umpqua! Running joke is when you first get to the rive ... toss yourself in and get your first dunking of the day behind you.
Dan Bailey makes a soft alie bared 'over shoe' for wading boots called 'Stream Cleats.' Best $50 you'll ever spend in your life. But back to the fishing report: do you have the link for the fish counts (Rogue, Winchester Dam on the NU, etc)?
Information is a bit dated when it goes on line, but it does give you a clue how many fish have moved up stream. fae
