Thank you very much. I think I’ve seen that many years ago on Lenice.

At 1000 this morning, a popular Cascade Lake at 4500 feet was carpeted with these insects. The hatch was over. Didn’t see any rises. Size #22-24 if it was a fly pattern.

This is America. Damn the rattlesnakes and wild Indians. Damn the sharks and man eating orcas. Live your life and accept the risks. The Oregon Trail is littered with the bones of the weak and the unlucky. In order to be successful here, you need to research a few concepts. Including...

Most folks don’t camp in the designated Campgrounds. There’s 30 odd miles of road along the river with informal camping spots. Several are large meadows with concrete toilets. You’ll find a spot.

Closer than you know. There’s a road from Avery to Wallace Idaho where that fire occurred

Be aware of the fire danger. Cell coverage in the drainage is nonexistent. Just a few years ago much of the upper river was closed due to an active fire. The are only a few ways in and out.

I spent some time fishing Henry's Lake in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. We usually stayed at Stale’s Springs, which was the only CG on the lake at that time. Now there is a county boat launch/campground which is closer to the good fishing. The Bill Scheiss book is critical to...

It’s a sweet little river. The one time I was there in early September, the best fly was a grasshopper. Beware because in the North country the frosts come early and will kill the hoppers. A 3 wt will catch any fish in that river. 15” were about max. I used mostly small dries like #16-18...

Agreed. I used to fish there regularly when I lived in Oregon in the 80’s. I went back 3-4 years ago to Maupin and was very disappointed.

The foam damsel works great and floats high when the waves are a foot high. It leaves something to be desired when the surface is flat. Try the braided butt style under those circumstances.

All the parking lots were full today and boat trailers were parked along side of the road. At least 17 boats. I guess you have to go when it’s snowing.

Maybe his tolerance for crowds is higher than ours. Maybe hes 18 and still learning. All any of us can expect is to learn from our mistakes and move on. If youre expecting solitude at leech, you wont find it. If youre looking for easy fish you wont find that either. Soon they will be...

Well it’s not just the parking. Some folks don’t just unload their boats at the launch. They feel the need to park there, put on their waders, string up their rods, etc. the boat launch is the choke point. They’re a well mannered lot, there’s just too many of them. A few years back, I...

The word is out. 18 boats on that little lake this morning.

I have 3 on my water otter. One for the rod holder trolling buggers for jumbos. One for Garmin sonar and the third for the transducer. The glue works best if it’s not too old otherwise needs to be thinned with acetone. Apply the pad and clamp it tightly against the raft with a couple of...

Scud back and flexi floss work great but after a number of years the bodies degrade and come undone. Ozone? Mylar gift wrapping and anti static bags are good.

I’m impartial, but the fish vote for the Quigley Cripple.

Keep up the good work. I think it was A.K. best who said, “You really don’t know a fly until you tie the first hundred dozen”.

Completed the mounting system this afternoon. A Scotty glue on pad, the 241 attachment, a Scotty 368 universal sonar mount, then the lower plate on the Garmin Striker 4 on my Water Otter pontoon boat. The Scotty parts are likely compatible with the Lowrance or Hummingbird units. The holes...
