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

Jeff’s Fishing Report 3/11/23
Good morning from a sunny Sisters, Oregon. It is looking like a good fishing day! Sadly, I am scheduled to be in an all day Zoom for our Water Watch Board Meeting. I was supposed to go to the Albany Fly Tying Expo yesterday and then up to Portland last night for the meeting today, … Continue reading Jeff’s Fishing Report 3/11/23
Jeff’s fishing report 3/3/23
I am sure enjoying a lot more daylight these days. Starting next weekend (daylight saving time begins) it'll be light enough after we close the shop to make a quick trip to the Metolius after work. Spring seems closer and closer. The Metolius is already showing some signs of spring hatches with a few of … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report 3/3/23
Fishing Report for one nice day! 2/24/23
Brrrr Oregon! It is about 11 PM here in Sisters, and my thermometer reads 8 degrees. It has been cold most of the week, but we didn't get much snow here. Portland bares the brunt of that, and even several coastal communities do too. A strange week when that happens. The weather people say tomorrow … Continue reading Fishing Report for one nice day! 2/24/23
Jeff’s Fishing Report 2/5/2023
What a start to the year, both good and bad. Some of you know I began my year with Covid, so my own fishing around the home waters was non existent. I never like that, but that's the breaks. The virus whipped me for about 3 weeks. During that time I was able to fill … Continue reading Jeff’s Fishing Report 2/5/2023
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
Happy Thanksgiving Fishing Update 11/23/22
Hi everyone, it's good to be home in Sisters and back to the shop. It has been fun this week catching up on local fishing and hearing stories of the trout and steelhead locally. While we had a great trip to Cuba, for me there is no place like home and no fish like a … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving Fishing Update 11/23/22
November Fishing Report and closure reminders
Here we are, November 1st. The wet snow is falling outside the shop this morning, and while it is not sticking or hanging in here in town, it is the beginnings if what will hopefully be a robust snowpack this season in the mountains where it is needed. Fishing is far from over, and there … Continue reading November Fishing Report and closure reminders
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
