Rolling into the last week of June, with the 4th of the July on the near horizon makes me remember we are in the heart of the summer fishing season. Hopefully you are getting out there on the water and catching some fish. There are a lot of good things to report, but I do … Continue reading Fishing Reports and Updates for the last week in June 2023

Fishing Reports and Updates for Mid-June 2023
A whole bunch of good stuff to talk about this week, but I will start with the bad news. A strong cold front is sweeping through Central Oregon beginning tonight and the weather on the lakes (anything above 5000 feet) looks atrocious. Snow. Wind. More wind. This weather patterns is not unusual for mid-June, as … Continue reading Fishing Reports and Updates for Mid-June 2023
The goods for you! 6/10/23 Fishing Report
Plenty of good stuff to discuss this week, from the big rivers to the small streams and the lakes throughout the region. The Metolius is fishing good, but the drake hatch is still not what we'd expect to see for being through the 1st week of june and marching towards mid-june. Will it increase in … Continue reading The goods for you! 6/10/23 Fishing Report
Fishing Report for June 5th, 2023
Oh man did we get pounded by a hail storm up on the lakes today. My guiding partner & good friend Steve and I both ended up in the woods with our customers, all hunkering under some trees to not get pounded by what ended up being a half an hour of a hard hail … Continue reading Fishing Report for June 5th, 2023
A lake update 5/18/23
Hi gang, I’m excited to announce that Paulina Lake is open and I’ve free as of a couple of days ago. Launching only from the resort and there is a $10 fee to launch and park there this year. No reports yet but last year on 5/20 we crushed them on a type 3 full … Continue reading A lake update 5/18/23
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
A little update for the lakes: talking about snow, and access, + safety and fishing options 10/26/22
greeting fellow stillwater enthusiasts! It's been a wild ride on the weather for the last 5 days and this changes the game quite a bit for most of us accessing some of the lakes, and gives us new ideas for some of the others we might not have on the radar as much. Starting up … Continue reading A little update for the lakes: talking about snow, and access, + safety and fishing options 10/26/22
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
