What a difference a week made. Last friday we are freezing our tail end's off and looking at our first set of consecutive days of winter below the freezing mark, plus some good amounts of snow around Sisters, Camp Sherman and even down to Maupin.

Weather Update and Fishing predictions 2/11/21
Perhaps winter finally arrived today! It started snowing and is pretty cold today. The meteorologists are saying we could get 20 inches or more here in Sisters from today through Sunday, with cold temps from the Polar Vortex just hitting our region a bit (nothing like Montana and the Mid-West).

This coming week of January 10-16 looks warm again. At least warm from a January perspective. Lots of days in the 40's and a couple hitting the 50's coming up. It should be a pleasant week to slip on the waders and be on the water.

November 9th 2020 fishing report
It's just turned dark here in Sisters and it's raining, mixed with few snow flakes. While that seems horrible, I am warm and fulfilled with happiness at how things are going in life, and at the shop.
