Cascade Lakes
A lake update 5/18/23
Hi gang, I’m excited to announce that Paulina Lake is open and I’ve free as of a couple of days ago. Launching only from the resort and there is a $10 fee to launch and park there this year. No reports yet but last year on 5/20 we crushed them on a type 3 full … Continue reading A lake update 5/18/23
Fishing Report and Water Level Updates 5/12/23
It is good to see the warm weather today here in Sisters, I hope this helps get the lakes opened up soon, and doesn't contribute too much more runoff down the local rivers and streams. It is interesting to see watch water levels and flows on the Crooked, Metolius, McKenzie and Lower Deschutes. Everything has … Continue reading Fishing Report and Water Level Updates 5/12/23
The Metolius is just damn High and other info for 5/6/23
Who let the dogs out? Man oh man this low elevation snow really started to melt down the tributary creeks on the Metolius. Lake Creek is to the brim, Canyon and Candle Creeks are too. Today at the Allingham Gauge we are nearing 400 cfs and that is really high. The funny thing is, the … Continue reading The Metolius is just damn High and other info for 5/6/23
A rainy day update on water 5/4/23
We experienced a lot of rain in the last 12-18 hours, and I wanted to update you on water conditions so you can plan or cancel trips. Some of this is good, and some of this is not good for fishing conditions, but overall everything we get flowing down the drainages is good long term. … Continue reading A rainy day update on water 5/4/23
Fishing Report and water updates for 4/30/23
Things got a little hairy with water levels over the last few days, and honestly I was wrong in thinking we wouldn't see high water levels on some of our favorite rivers (Crooked and Lower D) because I thought we had the storage capacity to absorb the melt off. Well, the Crooked River is rolling … Continue reading Fishing Report and water updates for 4/30/23
Opening Weekend Fishing Report 4/23/23
It's kind of a weird "opening weekend" of fishing season this year because the only thing that really opened was the Lower Deschutes in the Warm Springs to Trout Creek run. The lakes and reservoirs that we are normally so excited for are still snowed in, and in many cases still iced over. I've lived … Continue reading Opening Weekend Fishing Report 4/23/23

Jeff’s fishing report 3/25/2023
It seems like just yesterday I said March is coming in like a lion, yet here we are almost finished with March and it is still roaring. It is snowing here in Sisters this morning, which I will say we are all pretty tired of, but the snowpack totals are so much better in the … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report 3/25/2023
Happy New Year 2023 Fishing Report and Reminders
I'm so sorry for the delay, the fishing report guy has been under the weather. After close to 3 years of avoiding it, I finally got the dreaded double lines and there has been no fishing going on in our family since before Christmas Eve. A couple of important reminders:The Metolius River from the Headwaters … Continue reading Happy New Year 2023 Fishing Report and Reminders
