I have a pretty juicy fishing report to share, and we have a lot to look forward to over the next week to 10 days!So let's make a short cast … Continue reading Jeff’s Fishing Report April 15, 2023
Lower Deschutes River
Jeff’s Fishing Report 4/8/23
I think spring is really trying to overcome winter. This is a good vs. evil scenario in my world. LOL. But there are certainly signs of spring on the water, including better hatches, and in some cases improving water levels. The Metolius is fishing pretty well. April historically is a funny month with some slowing … Continue reading Jeff’s Fishing Report 4/8/23
No April Fools in this fishing report 4/1/23
The transition from Winter to Spring in the Pacific NW, especially around Sisters has been a slow go this year. Our snowpack in the Deschutes/Crooked River basin is 139 percent, and my guess is that by Monday it will be near, or over 150% with the mountain snow forecast for the next 48 hours. This … Continue reading No April Fools in this fishing report 4/1/23
Jeff’s fishing report 3/25/2023
It seems like just yesterday I said March is coming in like a lion, yet here we are almost finished with March and it is still roaring. It is snowing here in Sisters this morning, which I will say we are all pretty tired of, but the snowpack totals are so much better in the … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report 3/25/2023

Good morning from a sunny Sisters, Oregon. It is looking like a good fishing day! Sadly, I am scheduled to be in an all day Zoom for our Water Watch Board Meeting. I was supposed to go to the Albany Fly Tying Expo yesterday and then up to Portland last night for the meeting today, … Continue reading Jeff’s Fishing Report 3/11/23
Jeff’s fishing report 3/3/23
I am sure enjoying a lot more daylight these days. Starting next weekend (daylight saving time begins) it'll be light enough after we close the shop to make a quick trip to the Metolius after work. Spring seems closer and closer. The Metolius is already showing some signs of spring hatches with a few of … Continue reading Jeff’s fishing report 3/3/23
Fishing Report for one nice day! 2/24/23
Brrrr Oregon! It is about 11 PM here in Sisters, and my thermometer reads 8 degrees. It has been cold most of the week, but we didn't get much snow here. Portland bares the brunt of that, and even several coastal communities do too. A strange week when that happens. The weather people say tomorrow … Continue reading Fishing Report for one nice day! 2/24/23
Jeff’s Fishing Report 2/5/2023
What a start to the year, both good and bad. Some of you know I began my year with Covid, so my own fishing around the home waters was non existent. I never like that, but that's the breaks. The virus whipped me for about 3 weeks. During that time I was able to fill … Continue reading Jeff’s Fishing Report 2/5/2023
Happy New Year 2023 Fishing Report and Reminders
I'm so sorry for the delay, the fishing report guy has been under the weather. After close to 3 years of avoiding it, I finally got the dreaded double lines and there has been no fishing going on in our family since before Christmas Eve. A couple of important reminders:The Metolius River from the Headwaters … Continue reading Happy New Year 2023 Fishing Report and Reminders
