For 6 months of the year and for the last 21 years Lee Spencer has devoted his life to protecting a wild run of summer steelhead. Lee will spend each day observing and taking detailed notes about his friends occupying this famous hole on Steamboat Creek known as the Dynamite hole, or what most of us now refer to as, Lee’s hole. This famous spot on the North Umpqua river drainage is a must see by all anglers that have a passion for steelhead. We owe Lee some gratitude and a big thank you for all that he has sacrificed, although we are sure he will be the first to say it was entirely his pleasure. --- TEXT CALTROUT to 26989 to support wild fish in healthy waters.
