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

A (little early) fishing report 10/21/22
With big weather changes coming up tonight, I thought it might be helpful to make some predictions and talk about conditions before all that happens so you can plan for the weather and make choices depending on how conditions will be over the next couple of days and week ahead. Starting on the lakes, I … Continue reading A (little early) fishing report 10/21/22
10/16/22 Fishing Update
It looks like one more week of glorious weather coming, and then a big change coming in next saturday. I'd say for most of us, this brings mixed feelings and may even change some fishing plans, but overall while I am going to miss the sunshine and short sleeve shirts, I am hopeful that these … Continue reading 10/16/22 Fishing Update
October 10th Fishing Updates
Thank you to all of the people who responded last week to my comments about bathroom services and dock access. It is nice to know we stand together in sharing the idea that these services align with the fishing season, and should not align with a decision made in an office by people who apparently … Continue reading October 10th Fishing Updates
Fishing reports and updates for October 2, 2022
Good morning, the weather is going to be glorious this week, so if you're not planning to fish, you should change those plans and go fishing. It is certainly possible to have gorgeous and warm fall weather for a lot of October, but we never know, so you put off raking needles and leaves, going … Continue reading Fishing reports and updates for October 2, 2022

Tomorrow we head to the big city, and Sunday and Monday to the coast for a quick trip (hope to get some crab) and then home … Continue reading Fishing updates, closure info and good vibes for 9/23/22
Jeff’s Mid-September fly fishing updates
Sunday night report because it was a busy weekend guiding and meeting reps and catching up from the Padres (vs. Mariners) games. What a big change of weather that hit the Pacific NW this weekend. A welcome change for sure. We got rain and that is going to really help tamp down that fire over … Continue reading Jeff’s Mid-September fly fishing updates
