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

It looks like one more week of glorious weather coming, and then a big change coming in next saturday.

October 10th Fishing Updates
Thank you to all of the people who responded last week to my comments about bathroom services and dock access.

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.

Do you want the good news, or the bad news 1st? It's always the question, and we've heard this since we were kids.
