I don't know about you, but May is my month. OK, it's really the start of my favorite stretch of months because it just screams prime fishing season has arrived, and it is so full of hope. May brings water temperatures that influence the metabolic rate of the trout we are pursuing. Water temps above … Continue reading Fishing update 5/1/2021

Opening Day Fishing Report 2021/April/22
It always feels like Christmas Morning and the best Birthday Party you ever had when Opening Day hits. It's funny that it is just randomly on April 22nd, which could be any day of the day of the week. I kind of liked the old days when it was always on a Saturday, because it … Continue reading Opening Day Fishing Report 2021/April/22
Fishing update 4/10/21
Today is a cold and windy day across the region, and a reminder that spring is a transitional time. We win and we lose when it comes to the weather, but winning on the fishing more and more.

Crooked River on the rise 4/5/21
Just a quick note to report the irrigation season is beginning on the Crooked River and that the river has begun coming up to Summer levels. I would avoid fishing today and tomorrow but it should be fine by mid week when it settles to normal flows for the next 6+ months. We would not … Continue reading Crooked River on the rise 4/5/21

Good morning fly fisher's! As I get my morning going I know it's going to be a warm sunny day here in Sisters, and that we are just 40 days from Opening Day on the Lakes (Crane and Wickiup).

Fishing update 3/5/21
I know officially the equinox is March 20th, but meteorological spring is March 1, and this week has been very spring like. It gives so much hope for so many reasons. On the fishing side, hope that hatches are increasing by the week. Hope that the lakes are opening back up in about 2 months. … Continue reading Fishing update 3/5/21
