I’m sitting here in my very quiet condo (Airbnb) on San Martin de Los Andes, enjoying the bliss of a really solid day of dry fly fishing on the Rio Chimehuen. I’m going to hit the famous Pizza Cala for dinner which will offer at least another day or two of leftovers, and grab a … Continue reading Greetings from Patagonia + a Central Oregon fishing report 3/2/25

A high water update and where you CAN go this week 2/25/25
It looks like the storm has passed, and it was a significant driver of water levels all over the state. Locally, you will want to know where you can go this week with the beautiful weather and where you can't because the water is simply unsafe and there is no possibility of fishing. On the … Continue reading A high water update and where you CAN go this week 2/25/25
A spring like Sunday report 2/23/25
The last few days were dry and warm and a lot of anglers got out on the water to enjoy it. Last night the rains come in and certainly is melting some snow. So this report will have some good news and some no so good news, but we will take the gain in precipitation … Continue reading A spring like Sunday report 2/23/25
Dang High Water Again on the Crooked 2/20/25
The weekend rains have caused the Crooked River to blow up to 740+ cfs. My guess will be it will go up a little more and remain high for a week or so. Personally, over 400 cfs is not good for fishing, unless it is really stable for a long period above that. I'd skip … Continue reading Dang High Water Again on the Crooked 2/20/25
Fish Lovers Fishing Report 2/14/25
We made it through an awfully cold week! No one that I know really fished for a few days that I am aware of from Tuesday through Thursday because it was simply too cold to enjoy. Monday Mattias was out on the Metolius and had a wonderful day of nymph and streamer fishing. He slayed. … Continue reading Fish Lovers Fishing Report 2/14/25

Jeff’s Fishing Report & Chile Trip stories 1/27/25
I returned home last night to the Redmond Airport just before sunset, after leaving the Patagonia Baker Lodge just after sunrise on Saturday. It is a long journey, but to me it is so worthwhile. I find my soul in Patagonia and this trip to Chile was second to none for the new lodge, its … Continue reading Jeff’s Fishing Report & Chile Trip stories 1/27/25
Crooked River at 452
The Crooked River is dropping back in shape. 452 cubic feet per second is still higher than the average summer flow which is 250 to 300 cfs, but 452 is a fine flow to fish at. Think about leeches and scuds getting washed around after flows that have been high for a couple of weeks. … Continue reading Crooked River at 452
A little mid January Fishing Update
It's a gorgeous winters day in Sisters, Oregon and a dry period of weather coming up which should see the rivers that have been high, drop quickly. Will it put the Crooked back in play? I think so. But not quite yet. The Metolius has even been a little colored up, so that will clear … Continue reading A little mid January Fishing Update
