Hi everyone, it's good to be home in Sisters and back to the shop. It has been fun this week catching up on local fishing and hearing stories of the trout and steelhead locally. While we had a great trip to Cuba, for me there is no place like home and no fish like a … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving Fishing Update 11/23/22

November Fishing Report and closure reminders
Here we are, November 1st. The wet snow is falling outside the shop this morning, and while it is not sticking or hanging in here in town, it is the beginnings if what will hopefully be a robust snowpack this season in the mountains where it is needed. Fishing is far from over, and there … Continue reading November Fishing Report and closure reminders
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
Fishing reports and updates for October 2, 2022

Jeff’s Mid-September fly fishing updates
Sunday night report because it was a busy weekend guiding and meeting reps and catching up from the Padres (vs. Mariners) games. What a big change of weather that hit the Pacific NW this weekend. A welcome change for sure. We got rain and that is going to really help tamp down that fire over … Continue reading Jeff’s Mid-September fly fishing updates
Fishing Updates, good news, bad news and closed water to look out for this week of 9/11/22
Do you want the good news, or the bad news 1st? It's always the question, and we've heard this since we were kids. Since 90% of us say give me the bad news first, and then soften the blow with the good news, that's how this report will roll. The worst news is the Crooked … Continue reading Fishing Updates, good news, bad news and closed water to look out for this week of 9/11/22
