I've been in touch with willierower and he tells me there is a huge moss problem now in the S. Santiam. He drifted it earlier in the week and could hardly fish for the moss. May be better in some of the bankie spots, don't know.

hunter,
When I fished it Monday I noticed a couple well known guides had put in at Pleasant Valley. That must mean there are getting some fish from there to Waterloo. Im sure the big hole under the bridge at Pleasant valley is full of fish by now. Jacks to Waterloo would be another good drift.
The river is way down now. I havent looked at the graph but my indicator rock was showing this morning. As for the moss problem, That is mainly an upper river problem. Some guys I talked to that fished tuesday said it wasnt too bad. Im guessing when th USACE was playing with the flows on monday it caused the moss to float up.
willierower, one of the guides you saw was he in a 20' willie drift boat, with big loomis stickers on it, the reason i ask is me and a buddy will be there 23rd &24th of june just wondering how the fishing was,
Fishnfloat you can take out at jacks, it is located just above the bridge on the way to Mcdowell creek. go across the bridge and take a right and I believe it is the first driveway on the right, pretty tight access but can be done with no problems. Lot of slow water in between so a kicker is a plus. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
