Hello to everyone on this very special week! Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all. Tina and I have been busy with work: the shop is busier than I can remember any holiday season being and she is wrapping up a good year selling real estate. So we haven't fished in about 10 … Continue reading Christmas Week fishing report 12/22/20

Fishing Report 12/5/20
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Season! December has pretty much been perfect with pleasant fishing weather so far, and looks to be that way for at least another several days or a week. I was able to get out a few days to the Fall River and Metolius this week. Both were fair to good, … Continue reading Fishing Report 12/5/20
Thanksgiving time fishing outlook 11/25/20
Happy Turkey Day! We hope whatever you choose to do, it is as safe as it is delicious. There is plenty of good fishing to be had around Sisters now, and those conditions that are favorable to good water and some limited hatches is looking good as we march towards winter. So far, we haven't … Continue reading Thanksgiving time fishing outlook 11/25/20
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. Moments ago I got to go out and cast new streamer rods with the co-owner of Echo, Mr … Continue reading November 9th 2020 fishing report
Jeff’s Spooky Fishing Report 10/31/20
Happy Halloween and the end of the general Trout Season! It's crazy to think of all the great days we've had since the general opener on April 22nd.

Happy Sunday morning. It's 26 degrees right now, and I'm sitting by the wood stove watching the Titans vs Steelers, and thinking about how awesome the last 2 days on the Metolius were for me and my fishing friends.

Happy Monday morning, it's been a busy last 4 days to (likely) put an end to my 2020 guide season. I was on Paulina (x2), Crane and Hosmer.

Happy (windy) Monday everyone. I was supposed to be on the water today and tomorrow, but realized in the wee hours of the morning that the wind was going to win today.

Jeff’s end of September fishing report 9/26/20
If you are reading this from Oregon you know we got a small blessing of fall weather and some good rains in many areas around the state. Places that had been hit hard with wild fire earlier this month were soaked. I don't know how that moves us along with getting the fires all out, … Continue reading Jeff’s end of September fishing report 9/26/20
