Deschutes River Anglers report on 8.28.2017

Owyhee

With each passing week the fishing seems to be getting better and better on the Owyhee. The closer we get to September the more the browns are hunting down the hoppers and beetles.

By no means are all of the fish locked in on the big bugs, but enough are to keep things exciting. The days they aren’t eating the big bugs, we are still getting good...

Cool nights, warms days, late summer fishing on the Truckee River.

Fishing is pretty good. Lots of small fish with an occasional big. The best time to fish is 9-11:30. Seems like that’s when we connect. Probably the window when the the trouts and the bugs are moving around the most. It’s gonna get hot again this week, and mornings and evenings will be your best bet....

Hogan Brown reports 9.1.2017

Lower Sacramento River Striper Fishing - Fishing remains good as it has been all summer but it is obvious the seasons are changing as the days are getting shorter. Sun comes up later and goes down sooner. We are in the middle of another heat wave but the later sun rise is keeping the mornings cooler for a bit. Fish are feeding throughout the day but seem to be...

Jim Stimson reports on 9/1/2017

As we turn the page on the calendar to September, we are turning the corner on summer and entering my favorite time of the year, autumn. The sun is getting lower in the sky and the shadows longer. The morning air has a little bite to it and dew clings to the grasses along the rivers. The trout seem to like it as well, fishing is good on the eastside. As I write this,...

Bryce Tedford Reports on 9.1.2017

It’s a mixed bag out there these days with good fishing potential on multiple species! Delta Stripers, Smallmouth & Largemouth are all present & fishing this time of year. The mixed bag of fishing should last through Sept. until Stripers increase & become the primary focus for Fly Anglers. Come October-December its all about chasing Stripers on the Delta with a...

Wildwaters Fly Fishing Reports on 8.24.2017

I’m sorry we didn’t take any pictures of the six inchers your likely to catch, if….your fast enough. This is a challenging fishing report because the fishing on the McCloud river isn’t all that great. The little ones, who are faster then you, have taken over the feeding lanes and making you set the hook about a dozen times per hole. Sadly, coming up empty...

Jim Stimson Reports on 8.24.2017

Last weekend we packed up the truck and camper for a guy’s trip to central Oregon to view the eclipse, explore some new country, and wet lines on some water that I have only read about. We camped along the Malheur River, fished for feisty rainbows and occasional bull trout. After the eclipse, which was beyond belief, we fished the canyon country of SE Oregon for...

Matt “Gilligan” Koles Reports on 8.19.2017

A little cooler weather and little more water. It’s rained almost every afternoon here lately.

Flows have been increased out of Lake Tahoe and the 2 month heat wave looks to have broken. Flows are near 600 cfs here in the Hirsch, and much cooler overnight lows. It’s usually about this time when we get our first freeze. Lows have been in the upper 30’s here...
