I drove up there a couple weeks ago on the outside chance the gate was unlocked, and the only access road was repaired.. a waste of time. Sure miss that lake.. and the outstanding hexagenia hatches…

Yup…the boy is my 9 year old grandson, and I got him hooked on fly fishing 3-4 years ago. And yes.. that’s a bamboo fly rod I made for him on a 4-5wt blank that I fast talked Glenn Bracket out of. Great fun to fish with, and sorry to see him go back to school Tuesday. (although he’s been known...

Fished there a couple weeks ago and Austin had great fun .. the warm water grand slam! (but no bass) We’ll try it again under an indicator soon.

We drove over to Rocky Ridge Ranch to check it out… and the water was crowded. Three guys on one lake, 2 on another, and rumor was there were no fish in the 3rd. We decided to pass.. So…a quick text to Amanda (Justesen) and we were off to Lower Twin. I thought it was a little slow going (didn’t...

Has anyone fished Rocky Ridge Ranch this year?” Are they still in bidness? Can’t seem to get a reply on email, or the phone. Just looking for some new water for my grandson…

I did get a few hours in on the main stream Columbia last week, but couldn’t buy a fish. Seemed to be a lot of weeds this year where we normally toss a fly, so did spend more time out in 15-20’ of water, and saw a few on the finder. A nice, rainy, foggy, no wind day, but I’ll give it a couple...

Anyone try fishing for SM bass in the Columbia this early in the year? I’ve got a couple spots that were good in the spawn (April -May) .. but I need to catch a fish.

Mine are not as pretty…

All were on a simi-seal leech… much like Pat was using.

Paul… that rock pit is close to your house!

Wow… a great way to start the new year (!) ..although it may be all down hill from here! 😁 I just spent a couple fun hours up on one of our favorite west side lakes, and was pretty much dialed in! The first hit I missed, 🤷‍♂️ the 2nd I broke off on the take (big fish..steelhead? ) 🤦‍♂️ .. the...

Haha… once saw a woman nearly jump off her pontoon boat as a rattlesnake tried to join her on Coffeepot!

It’s as much fun a guy can have standing up.. or sitting if you’ve got a ride.

October 31st pretty much ends the fishing season for me. Most of the streams and lakes close, and the weather generally sucks until about March 1st. I'm not sure I caught enough fish this year, but sure got some nice ones! I kept a record this season of all the fish I caught over 20 inches (and...

I’ve fished to south side as well… pretty ugly launch site, but the bass were great fun with poppers!

It's the first time I've seen it at Rowland, but then I usually fish it in the spring. The bummer was WDFW just dumped 1100, near 1 pound rainbows in there on the 9th.

A buddy and I drove upriver to Horsethief lake (by the Dalles) … to see if there were any SM bass that wanted to play. We found a few, but I was surprised at how much of the lake was weeded over… nearly half of the lake (west side) is un-fishable. Fairly slow fishing, but we also managed a hand...

Does your wife have a sister...?

Be sure to bring warm clothes.. When the wind picked up, the chill factor was in the teens last week!
