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
Happy Thanksgiving Fishing Update 11/23/22
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
Good morning, the weather is going to be glorious this week, so if you're not planning to fish, you should change those plans and go fishing. It is certainly possible to have gorgeous and warm fall weather for a lot of October, but we never know, so you put off raking needles and leaves, going … Continue reading Fishing reports and updates for October 2, 2022
