Openers for the late trout season include the Upper Deschutes, Whychus Creek, Tumalo Creek and the Metolius from Allingham up the headwaters.

Fishing Updates 5/14/2021
The Metolius is starting to see better Green Drake hatches, and even if you don’t see a lot of naturals, between 2 and 5 look for splashy takes and fish that water with an emerger or dun. The Green Drakes will be in full swing by the end of the month but are already off to … Continue reading Fishing Updates 5/14/2021

Fishing update 5/1/2021
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.

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.

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. It was so windy down on the Metolius this morning there were some trees down. And snowflakes … Continue reading Fishing update 4/10/21
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

Happy Spring Break everyone! I missed a lot of the week home sick, but back at the shop today after a morning with my friends Gary and Tim working on my lake boat on a warm, sunny spring morning. We did (Gary did!) updated rod racks and a new plug for the Noco Genius battery … Continue reading Fishing update 3/26/21
