Well it's been pushing 70 until yesterday it was 65. I like it when it gets down in to the 50s as that seems to be when I get most my coho to cooperate.

Yeah I'm kind of shocked at how many are in my neighborhood already. Never seen even a fraction of this many in these spots until the last week of September.

Lots of fish up by concrete, cant retain there yet but they were kind enough to not bite for me so they will still be there the 16th.
I need a Star Trek transporter so I can go back and forth between the Sandy and the Deschutes. How much are they ?
Oxbow this morning , coho rollers , no biters , murky water.
Ever try tossing Brad's wigglers in that scenario?
I did.
Dirtbag checklist... GO!
Wicked Lures (in-line spinners)... CHECK!
Soft Beads... CHECK!
1/4-oz. Jigs (still awaiting arrival of 3/8-oz. Jig heads)... CHECK!
Bait... not pictured, but CHECK!
And even some non-dirtbag (but definitely dirty!) fly tackle... CHECK!
Fish are in. Go get 'em, folks!

Sounds like fishing is going to e great on the 20th
How you gettin' em? Bugs? Dirtbaggery?
Dirtbaggin' with spinners
I do a lot of that this time of year. At low water, I'm finding that when and where they will bite spinners, they will also bite stripped flies quite well. I came across a pod of fresh dummies the other day. After I caught a couple on a homemade Wicked Lure, I decided to try them with a purple bugger, and well, it worked. Really, really well. Love these early fish, even if it's hard to find them in places where I can harvest them so far.
