Memorial Day 2022 Fishing Report and Updates
Good morning from beautiful Sisters, Oregon. We woke up at home, which was unplanned as we had intended to camp on the Metolius for a few nights. But camping in the rain is not a ton of fun, especially in a small trailer with dogs. So hopefully next weekend we will get to the river … Continue reading Memorial Day 2022 Fishing Report and Updates
An exciting fishing report 5/21/2022
Here we are, May 21st and it's been a weird start to the fishing season since April. Mostly due to snow up in the lakes and wind and cold weather down on the rivers. Is that about to change? For a while it looks like and that is why I think this is going to … Continue reading An exciting fishing report 5/21/2022
Hosmer Lake still snowed in 5/16/22
I decided to drive up and take a look, in the interest of the reports, and that I have guide trips booked at Hosmer starting tomorrow. Elk Lake was still frozen over completely. That leads me to think Hosmer is too. I can’t tell because the access road off the Cascade Lakes Highway is still … Continue reading Hosmer Lake still snowed in 5/16/22
Jeff’s fishing report 5/15/2022
First off, I am sorry I missed a week. I was in Mexico catching baby tarpon and when I got home I honestly felt like I didn't have enough information to provide a good and accurate report. Now, having been home for a week, getting some time on the water, and time in the fly … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report 5/15/2022
Fly Fisher’s Update 4/30/22
April came and went (almost) with a lot of blessings and luck. We are now sitting at 103% in the Deschutes Basin and 142% for the McKenzie. Some delayed openings (pushed back to more of what we will call normal) on some high lakes, but we will take that with glee, joy, answered prayers and … Continue reading Fly Fisher’s Update 4/30/22
10/23/2021 fishing report & update
Good morning from the rainy Oregon coast. It appears some of this rain is headed over to the rest of the state for the next few days too. Hallelujah, we need that water, and I hope it just keeps coming and coming. I am pretty sure this storm is going to be about the end … Continue reading 10/23/2021 fishing report & update
Jeff’s fishing report 10/16/21
Holy cow what a great couple of October days we are getting yesterday and today. I guided the Fall River yesterday in Sunshiney bliss and today I am headed to the Metolius with my friend Mike, hopefully for a good afternoon session of dry fly action. I hope you are getting out and enjoying these … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report 10/16/21
Jeff’s fishing report/update 10/11/21
Hello on a cool, breezy October Monday. Monday? I know, it's late and I apologize. I had guide trips over the weekend and just didn't have time to blog until now. There is plenty to talk about, including an apology on my part for not choosing the best way to express myself on some frustrations … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report/update 10/11/21
Jeff’s fishing report and more (10/2/21)
It's Folk Festival weekend in Sisters. I got home from my guide trip last night and we headed out on the town to listen to some great music. All the town is a stage and it feels vibrant and good here. We are lucky. We are also lucky to have so much good fishing here, … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report and more (10/2/21)
