Chatting with some fly shops today, it seems there should be a small stonefly hatch kicking off there. It’s pretty far, but is definitely added to the “possibilities” list.
Thank you both! Good to know the Crooked is starting to pick up- used to fish it a lot and with this I may spend my last night there on the way back.
With the water levels like that it sounds like the Blitzen isn’t my best bet right now. I may stick around the Ana and then explore some blue...
Starting a new job in a week and taking a last minute camping trip to fish, hike, and spend time with the dog. I’m excited to explore southern Oregon, leaving Salem on Sunday and returning Friday. I’ve never been there before and am excited for the adventure.
I’m open to suggestions, but...
I will be at the expo Friday (spending Saturday fishing the Met while you all are cooped up inside). I’ll be wearing a brown blazer and a green t-shirt that says “cutthroat businessman“ on the front. I hope to have a chance to meet a few of you.

Same. Honestly I didn’t know they existed there and was surprised to reel it in. Doing some quick searches it seems they “were introduced in the early 1900’s” but I can’t find anything else about it.
Still, I enjoyed the catch… I generally prefer to target native fish so this is one of the few...
Just got back from the Metolious, fun and interesting camping trip. Arrived early Friday, just as this latest winter storm was passing, and it was *cold*, 13 degrees was the high temp and it was still snowing a bit. I saw one angler pick up a couple whitefish while euro-nymphing but that’s about...
