The Upper North Fork of the Santiam River near Marion Forks and down to Pamelia Creek and even towards Idanha before it goes to the Reservoir has some good fishing prospects this week. One thing these fish like is a big dry fly like a Chubby and Stimulator or larger Orange Elk Hair Caddis. This is a good water and those are good dry flies to run a dropper nymph off the back of the dry.
