The FFP guides have been hitting the Fall River with gusto lately and finding some very good fishing on a variety of dries and Euro Nymphs. PMD's, Yellow Sally's, Ant's, Beetle's, Olive Caddis and a Green Drake or two on most days that get the fish coming up and acting feisty. We've been knocking the … Continue reading Fall River fishing report 6/10/19

East Lake fishing report 6/10/19
East Lake is good, especially with Chironomids in about 8-10 feet of water. Chromie's in a #16 and Olive #18 Zebra Midges were our hot flies on Saturday. Black and Red is also a great choice. Callibaetis are trying to get a foot hold but we haven't seen any really good hatches so far, but … Continue reading East Lake fishing report 6/10/19
Crooked River fishing report 6/4/19
The Crooked is back down to under 300 cfs and that's great news. We've been seeing a good number of Mother's Day Caddis still, and the fish have been eating a mix of adults, spent egg layers, and soft hackles. Our best luck has been on Perdigon's and 2 Bit Hookers Euro Nymphing. Scuds, Ray … Continue reading Crooked River fishing report 6/4/19
Three Creeks Lake update 6/1/19
Besides walking a mile up the hill over a snow covered road, some friends of mine also found the lake to be mostly covered in ice still as of 5/31/19.
3 Creeks Lake update 5/31/19
USFS opened the gate today. While that sounds promising, let me assure you the lake is really not accessible to the average angler. The snow still comes down the hill from the lake a good mile. There is still a lot of snow at and around the lake. A lot. It's going to be a … Continue reading 3 Creeks Lake update 5/31/19
Cascade Lakes report 5/31/19
Hosmer was good for us this week with Callibaetis hatches and fish looking up. Chironomids under an indicator with a Pheasant Tail dropper worked well for us too. There were a number of Water Boatman skimming the surface and taking flight yesterday, and some splashy rises that looked like the fish were chasing them down. … Continue reading Cascade Lakes report 5/31/19

Metolius River fishing report 5/31/19
Green Drakes and PMD's are the hot hatches. We are getting a lot of questions about the Green Drakes, and the answer is the hatch is on, it will be getting better, the next 3 to 3 1/2 weeks are the best times of the hatch. The fish will be looking up … Continue reading Metolius River fishing report 5/31/19
Fall River fishing report 5/31/19
Fall River has been a lot of fun especially on dries with PMD's and Green Drake hatches, Ants, Beetles, some Yellow Sally's and a few Olive Caddis mixed in. We've been doing really well with Euro Nymphing Perdigon's and Jigs, 2 Bit Hookers, Micro Mayfly's, Zebra Midges and WD50's. You can also fish many of … Continue reading Fall River fishing report 5/31/19
Lower Deschutes Fishing Report 5/29/19
Salmonfly's and Goldenstones are still the hot hatch. I think we will see them for at least another week, maybe even 10 more days of good action with the big flies. Caddis and PMD hatches also are getting strong, and with that Caddis Pupa and Micro Mayfly Nymphs are pretty darn great. Fishing is definitely … Continue reading Lower Deschutes Fishing Report 5/29/19
