ok, heres a report from southland. Fished the Rogue from Takelma to Tou Velle park (11 miles of upper river). Hooked 4, landed 3.
Clear and very low (900cfs). Rattlesnake rapids slot is about one foot wider than the driftboat.
Daily excitement included my partner setting down his rod to put out another plug just as a fish (the one we lost) hit his rod and pulled it out of the boat. He caught the handle just as it was about to go underwater (kindof a midair grab). the rivergods almost got a Rogue Rod and Calcutta reel.
Excitement (part II). I stood up to get a better look at the two rocks I was rowing between. The T shaped pull cord for my inflatable life jacket mangaged to get into the ropeseat, so when I stood up I inflated!!!
