Name that Riffle

The new riffles formed by the removal of the Rogue's Gold Ray dam is creating opportunities to name the newly formed runs.

The new Rogue River riffle near the top of what used to be Gold Ray Reservoir has such special meaning for Darryl Gould, he decided to christen it.

Gould caught a big summer steelhead on a fly Oct. 21 at the new riffle, which was exposed when Gold Ray Dam's removal this summer drained the reservoir that had been backed up behind it for 106 years. Then Gould lost a $1,000 rod and reel in the swift water.

"I caught a great steelhead there, lost my rod and then found it," says Gould, of Sacramento. "So we decided to call it 'Lost and Found.' "
