I guided Crane 5 of the last 8 days and it's overall been good, mostly on Leeches. This week they had days of liking Black, Maroon, Brown and Olive. Some days it was with a Red Bead, some days an Orange Bead and other times a subdued Gunmetal Bead. Fish are eating a lot water … Continue reading Lakes fishing report 9/14/19

Fish are likely to be on Balanced Damsels, Red or Tan Chironomids, Zebra Midges, Water … Continue reading Lakes (Hosmer, East and Crane) 8/24/19

Crane & Hosmer report 7/13/19
I had another super week guiding at Crane on the resort/Deschutes Channel side. I heard from some friends and customers that Quinn area was also good. Balanced Leeches were best for us. Definitely getting fish on Chironomids too. I'd call the fishing at CP quite good. Steve had a fun trip to Hosmer with guests … Continue reading Crane & Hosmer report 7/13/19
East Lake fishing report 7/13/19
the last couple of days were tough fishing. We were getting fish on Callibaetis nymphs wind drifted and anchored up on an indicator. Also getting some fish on Chironomids and it's been cool to see as the water has warmed up to the 60's the action is going deeper (15 to 18' at the moment). … Continue reading East Lake fishing report 7/13/19

I was lucky to do 2 guide trips at CP this week and the fishing was outstanding both days on Chironomids and Balanced Leeches under an indicator. Wow. Can't wait to go back.
East Lake Callibaetis! 6/21/19
The callibaetis hatch has really come on strong up on the lake. Besides that, this week continues to be awesome with Chironomids in about 10-14 feet with a Poxy Back Callibaetis Nymph as a dropper tag under the indicator about 3 or 4 feet accounted for a lot of fish this week. Ants and Beetles … Continue reading East Lake Callibaetis! 6/21/19
Cascade Lakes fishing report 6/15/19
East Lake is fishing well, with chironomid action under an indicator doing best, plus an increasing number of callibaetis hatching. We have also been doing well on ants, and some beetles too. Crane is good on chironomids and balanced leeches. Seems to me the Deschutes Channel has been best (at least on the days I've … Continue reading Cascade Lakes fishing report 6/15/19

I guided Crane again a few days ago. it was cool to have a couple of young guys who withstood the very bad weather and caught a bunch of fish on Chironomids and Black Hale Bopp Leeches and a fly they tied on a jig called a Little Bastard. Pretty sweet to see the line … Continue reading Cascade Lakes 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
