Hello and happy Sunday from Central Oregon. If you enjoyed the warm spring weather over spring break last week, you were not alone. Holy cow there were a lot of folks at the Crooked and Fall River last week, but I would think with the vacation time over for students that this week will be … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report 3/29/26

Jeff’s April 27th, 2025 Fishing Report
Good morning from the fly tying desk at The Fly Fisher's Place, where I am back to work and catching up after being gone for 2 weeks fishing in Belize.

Jeff’s Fishing Report posted a little early this week 4/10/25

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
Opening Weekend Fishing Report 4/23/23
It's kind of a weird "opening weekend" of fishing season this year because the only thing that really opened was the Lower Deschutes in the Warm Springs to Trout Creek run. The lakes and reservoirs that we are normally so excited for are still snowed in, and in many cases still iced over. I've lived … Continue reading Opening Weekend Fishing Report 4/23/23
