Fishing Bamboo on the Williamson River.

With all the cold weather and snow we have right now, we’ve been catching up on some old “to-do” items.  We spent a few days last May at Yamsi Ranch in Southern Oregon fishing the headwaters of the Williamson River.  It’s amazing fishing for highly educated rainbows and brook trout on spring creek water…requiring long, light tippets and plenty of stealth…perfect for bamboo fly rods.  Here is a little video of Mary Ann stalking and catching a nice rainbow one sunny morning.

Fishing Bamboo on the Williamson River at Yamsi Ranch

I fished the Upper Williamson River at Yamsi Ranch in Southern Oregon this past weekend. John Hyde was a great host and we found lots of big Rainbows and Brookies. Hoopers with Pheasant Tail Nymph droppers were the most successful. How about this 24″ rainbow on a 7′ 6″ 5 wt Bamboo Rod!
