Wonder what the reasoning is with continuing with the Browns and not the Tigers? Both are fun fish to catch and both are similar with regards on how they fight vs rainbows - but Tigers are just a cool looking fish and even though their fight is similiar to the Browns, to me Tigers are just a...

There has been a decrease of fisher folks for that lake in the recent years, which is a good thing, I think :). Peach

What size of fish are these stockings? Assuming from the discussion this is the amount of fingerlings being stocked and not the standard 8 inch "legals" (I think that is what WDFW and other FWD call that class size). I ask because I don't know what the standard size is when WDFW stock this...

Yup - done this not only on my fly boxes but other equipement as well that I can stick these labels on. Saved me twice from losing fly boxes. These labels work good on nets as well. I do have to write my telephone number on the labels, you have to have small handwriting but it works. Peach

Got it. Seems like to me for whatever reason, folks that fish the Deschutes have to be different & elite and categorgize their trout as special & unique :). Not a suprise considering some how some folks consider the Deschutes as some kind of holy grail. Maybe not as snobish as those that...

I think this is a primarily Oregon question, but can anyone explain the difference between a Redside Rainbow Trout which is found in the Deschutes River System and a Redband Rainbow Trout which are native wild fish located in most rivers systems East of the Cascades? The ODFW mentions if you...

Cool fish. Not an "unicorn" on the Met - but very small population in that River, a once in a few years event. My understanding is that they work there way up from Lake Billy Chinook - like the Bulls but obviously not as abundant as the Bulls. Lot more Browns in the lake from what I...

Great Video. Great discussion around public access to land lock public lands. Curious how much more $$$ it cost the hunter to haul that elk out with the copter? :). Peach

Second on this one - great Stillwater rods...

This Cortland graphite LTD Extra-Large 120 reel has a palming rim with a smooth powerful disc drag . It easily converts from left to right-hand use. The reel is loaded with a floating line of some sort (unknown) . The reel shows minor wear from some use, not a lot. It's in good working...

Order placed :). BTW when did the "Old Man Hat" become the old man style? I always considered the Trucker Style to be the old fashion hat - now the trucker style is the cool new fad and the old man style is well - for old men apparently. I can't keep up with the kidz and the new apparel...

Kind of a cool topic - I am kind of into ball caps. Just started to add to my collection. Just recently, I too just started to buy hats in most fly shops I visit just for fun. My contribution towards supporting the Mom & Pops along with the standard flies for the area I am fishing. My...

2022 ended up being a pretty good year. The most of the fishing wasn't fast or furious, but size and quality were good this year. This ongoing drought conditions forced me to try new locations, which was cool to find new fishing holes. Exploration is one of the itmes which makes fly fishing...

Both Chickahominy and Mann are completely dried up. The pictures are from Chick this past April as I did make a trip down to Frenchglen. Stayed at the Frenchglen hotel for a few nights. The hotel was clean but nostalgic but the rooms were basically a bed and a night stand, but the dinners...

I too have fished Paul's Flies as well. Good Stuff. Mark me down as interested :).

Nice Report Paul. Those cuts do look improved! Hopefully they stay that way.

Davis is a Fly Fishing only lake that once was "the" fishery for Trophy Trout in Central Oregon. An illegal stocking of LMB and with drought and the porous lava bed that it sits in with combination of the drought has pretty much decimated the trout fishery. However, the LMB did thrive and it...

Just an interesting tid-bit for you that like to do some data mining and analysis and try to draw some comparision conclusions. A good case study is Diamond Lake in Oregon. Alot of articles and data available. I believe it is the first and only lake in Oregon that ODWF stocks Tigers in...

Nice report! Stillwater steamer/baitfish fishing for big Bows in High Desert lakes are my Fav! Peach

You just don't hear about that lake much anymore and when you do - most reports are "slow fishing". Weird compared to what it was say 10+ years ago when crowds and too many folks on the lake was an issue. Looks like WDFW fixed that issue, over the last few years it is being used so much...
