Lake in the Dunes - private - May 16th, 2011
supplied by: The Patient Angler RECORDED:59 °FISHING: Great
We just held our annual fly-fishing school at Lake in The Dunes this past weekend. It’s great fun to teach someone to fly fish and even more rewarding when they master the skills enough to catch their first fish on their own. The weather was pretty good throughout the weekend with just a sprinkle of rain on Friday. The wind was a little bit of a problem as it would come up in the afternoon making casting more challenging, especially for the beginners just learning to cast for the first time.
Everybody met the challenge and improved their casting throughout the day and caught fish. Most of our success was on Chironomidaes, Callibaetis nymphs, Callibaetis emergers and Callibaetis dries. The Chironomidaes and Callibaetis nymphs were fished subsurface with slow small strip retrieves. The Callibaetis emergers were fished on top with a short quick strip and the Callibaetis Dry was fished, as dries should be, on top with very little movement.
Dave & Marilyn, who were attending the L.O.D. fly fishing school for the second time, took home the honors for the most fish caught. They had a little advantage because they had been there before and mostly because they already had the casting down, and good casting skills will get you more fish than anything else you ever learn about fly-fishing. The best part was that this was like a second honeymoon for Dave & Marilyn, the first time they met was during the first fly-fishing school they attended four years ago. I can’t say which one of them caught the biggest fish because they are both a little competitive, and I wouldn’t want to cause any trouble between them.
Tim & Sharon enjoyed the day on the water. Tim had fished before and did pretty well catching fish throughout the day, but caught a big boy at the end of the day that took a Bloody Mary (the fly, not the drink). It was Sharon’s first time fly-fishing and after braking off the first four big fish she hooked, she figured out how to play them and landed the next couple of fish she hooked.
Russ and Kenny also attended, Russ already having some experience and wanting to get his young son Kenny started in a productive environment. With some casting skills already in place, Russ caught fish all day with his biggest fish coming after lunch. After working with Kenny on casting techniques for a few minutes, he picked it right up and started making some good casts on his own. Moments later, Kenny made a cast and his Callibaetis emerger hit the water a little short, being the perfectionist he is, he was just about to pick up his line and cast again when a big healthy Rainbow slurped in his fly and took off running. With a little coaching from his dad, Kenny soon landed the first fish that he had caught all on his own. It was great watching Russ and Kenny fish together, making casts and netting fish for each other. I know it was Mother’s Day weekend, but it looked like Fathers Day to me.
Thu and I did get to fish a little in the evenings after everyone had left. We caught some nice fish, but had to battle the wind that seamed to reach its peak just before dark. We would just put our back to the wind and let it fly. It’s amazing the distance you can cast with a 20mph wind at your back. You become a super caster, right up to the cast that sticks you in the back of the head.
It was a great weekend; everyone had a lot of fun, learned about fishing lakes and improved the skills needed to be successful out on the water.

Lake of the Woods - September 2nd, 2010
supplied by: Roe Outfitters Oregon Guide Klamath Falls Fly Shop RECORDED:0 °FISHING: Good
Fly fishing is slow. Try nymphing chironomids on Type VI uniform sink line about 20-24ft. down.
Fishing is excellent for kokanee and rainbows. Try flashers, wedding ring and worms.
Green, green, green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need to find where they are hanging out right now and a boat with a fish finder is almost a necessity unless you are lucky.
Trolling for Browns is always an option, If you want to target these large and elusive fish you need to fish large lures and seek out the areas where they are hiding usually deep.
Big Lava Lake - July 17th, 2010
supplied by: Fly and Field Outfitters FISHING: Good
Lava has seen some calibaetis hatches and terrstrials like ants and beetles have taken fish. This is a fun fishery, especially when the big lakes are too windy. This is also a great place for float tubes and pontoon boats as the size is managable. If Big Lava is too much, head over to the Little lake, it fishes about the same. Fishing clear lines and damsel patterns or leeches/buggers is a fun way to take fish. Work the shorelline drop off's and vary your retrieve rate until you find success.
Lake Billy Chinook - March 30th, 2010
supplied by: Central Oregon Fishing RECORDED:50 °FISHING: Great
The Bull Trout are definitely on the rebound. With all the Kokanee that are crashing the surface, it seems that the Bulls will have plenty to feed on in the coming years. This is good news to anyone who loves throwing large streamers to voracious eaters.
The Bulls are thicker and healthier than we have seen for years. The predominate age class still lies below 24 inches but the weight is returning to our predatory friends. This bodes very well for the future years if the Kokanee population remains stable and on the upswing.
Get your casting in shape as this type of fly fishing is not for the faint of heart. Throwing large streamers a long way all day is more fishing than most are use too. Get you fly out as far as you can on each cast and let it rip. If their are Bull trout around, they wont disappoint!!!!
Be careful on windy days as it can get dangerous on the lake if the wind picks up and starts gusting over 20+mph down the canyon...
Sandy River - February 9th, 2010
supplied by: River Borne Outfitters, LLC RECORDED:45 °FISHING: Fair
Fishing conditions are tough. The rivers are low and clear. Tactics remain the same, cover a lot of water, swing everything, and find fish in transition. We continue to scratch out dime bright fish. We have been jumping some fish in really skinny water moving up river despite the lack of rain. For those waiting on the next big push of water to get after it...you may be in for a long wait. Weather forecasts are not good but you know how that goes. See you on the river,
Wilson River - January 15th, 2010
supplied by: Berge Tackle RECORDED:47 °FISHING: Poor
