Docks are going in at Crane Prairie Boating site (by the resort) tomorrow it sounds like. USFS is clearing some hazard trees by the fish cleaning station today. Crane is fishing pretty … Continue reading Fishing Reports and access updates 5/19/23

Fishing Report and Water Level Updates 5/12/23
It is good to see the warm weather today here in Sisters, I hope this helps get the lakes opened up soon, and doesn't contribute too much more runoff down the local rivers and streams. It is interesting to see watch water levels and flows on the Crooked, Metolius, McKenzie and Lower Deschutes. Everything has … Continue reading Fishing Report and Water Level Updates 5/12/23
Fishing Report and water updates for 4/30/23
Things got a little hairy with water levels over the last few days, and honestly I was wrong in thinking we wouldn't see high water levels on some of our favorite rivers (Crooked and Lower D) because I thought we had the storage capacity to absorb the melt off. Well, the Crooked River is rolling … Continue reading Fishing Report and water updates for 4/30/23
Opening Weekend Fishing Report 4/23/23
It's kind of a weird "opening weekend" of fishing season this year because the only thing that really opened was the Lower Deschutes in the Warm Springs to Trout Creek run. The lakes and reservoirs that we are normally so excited for are still snowed in, and in many cases still iced over. I've lived … Continue reading Opening Weekend Fishing Report 4/23/23
Jeff’s Fishing Report 3/11/23
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
A little update for the lakes: talking about snow, and access, + safety and fishing options 10/26/22
greeting fellow stillwater enthusiasts! It's been a wild ride on the weather for the last 5 days and this changes the game quite a bit for most of us accessing some of the lakes, and gives us new ideas for some of the others we might not have on the radar as much. Starting up … Continue reading A little update for the lakes: talking about snow, and access, + safety and fishing options 10/26/22
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
