Todd,

Sauk Bar (fly bar) has a lot less prime steelhead holding water than it did prior to the 1990 flood. And it changed again after the 95/96 floods. It's still a pretty good spot, but nothing like the days when it could kick out double digit hookups. I've found the left bank to fish pretty good since the mid to late 90s, when I can safely wade and cast from that bank. Definitely a two-handed spot, tho.

The Mixer can and does produce fish, but not from the deep hole at the top. A friend of mine hooked one on a fly from the right bank years ago when there was just a bit of a riffle formed there, but over the years that has been low percentage water. The better bet has been among the bolders and pockets toward the lower end along the left bank. I never hooked any there, but boon doggers have caught many.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
