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.

The meteorologists are saying we could get 20 inches or more here in Sisters from today through Sunday, with cold temps from the Polar Vortex just hitting our region a bit (nothing like Montana and the Mid-West). I personally think the fishing … Continue reading Weather Update and Fishing predictions 2/11/21
