Lostine River - August 22nd, 2010
supplied by: Joseph Fly Shoppe, LLC RECORDED:75 °FISHING: Good
8/21/10- Per our last report if you are willing to bushwhack and get away from the campgrounds into the canyons now is a perfect time to fish the Lostine. A pretty "pool and drop" fishery, the pretty little native bows in here will readily take dries of all varieties. Some of our favorites for the area include terrestrials like para-beetles, Turk's Power Ant, smaller hoppers, Variants, and sz 16 humpies in red or yellow.
8/11/10 - The "2=Fair" rating is based on a fair to poor rating near the forest service campgrounds (native fish do not have to be released and the river is not stocked - so it gets fished-out) and a fair to good rating in the canyons and hard to get to areas away from the campgrounds. The latter has good numbers of small native rainbows.
8-1-2010 The water has dropped and this lovely river is finally fishable. Along the forest service road stay away from the campgrounds and the rule is the harder the water is to get to the better the fishing is. I love using terrestrials especially the Turk's Power Ant, don't hesitate to try a smaller hopper, and smaller size 14-16 attractor patterns like humpies. Larger streamer patterns can sometimes full big bull trout in the deeper pools (strictly catch and release for bull trout). We strongly encourage catch and release only for all rainbow trout as this section is not stocked. Single point hooks only and no bait is allowed.
7/11/2010 - Water is still high but coming down quickly in the warm weather. The river is running about 375 near the town of Lostine, when the flow drops below 300 start thinking about venturing up into the canyon. A truly senic fishing destination and always a great day on the water.
7/1/10 - same as 6/21
06-21-2010 - To date the river has been too high to offer good trout fishing.
9/19/09 - Trout fishing is difficult on the upper river (native trout do not have to be released/they also do not stock trout) so try to fish away from campgrounds.
8/18/09 - Public access to the Lostine River is upstream -- once you enter National Forest. Fishing near the camp ground is a bit difficult due to fishing pressure and no requirements to release native rainbow. The river is not stocked. Try to find less accessed areas and fish for small rainbows and brook trout.
7/26/09 The wait is over, the Lostine river is at a good fishable flow now. You won’t find the same size or number of fish on the river that you will on the Wallowa but the sheer beauty of this crystal clear stream and solitude is worth the trip. We have had recent success using a size 14 yellow stimulator, and also a size 16 Potters Fat Head Beetle. There is not much of a hatch on this pristine wilderness river so staying with smaller attractor patterns and terrestrials is the way to fish. To get to the best water you really have to work, hike up or down stream from the campgrounds and get off the beaten path, you will be rewarded with beautiful smaller native trout!
/8/09 Still too high to fish well right now, the Lostine needs a few more another couple weeks before the river will be fishable. The snow is still plentiful near 7000' where the headwaters of the Lostine originate, but keep tying your red humpies, royal wulff's, and hoppers because the time will come!
6/28/09 Even though the water is gin clear, the Lostine is just too high to fish. The flow has been peaking in the evening around 650-700 cfs. For the Lostine to be really fishable the water level needs to drop 300 cfs or more. I expect the conditions to be really improving in about 3 weeks. Definitely worth the wait, to fish this secluded drop dead gorgeous stream.
6/14/09 - To high to be really productive, and the rain seems to want the water level to stay that way. However, the water is clear on the Lostine, so if you can find some smooth slicks and eddies along the bank you might have success. Small stimulators, red humpies, and royal wolfs might get a strike in the evening. If you can't get anything to rise, try smaller prince nymphs, copper johns, hares ears, and phesant tails. If you are really brave, you might even attempt to swing larger leech or sculpin patterns in the deeper holes and try land one of the monster bulltrout who call this beautiful river home. The right Wooly Bugger could land you both a nice native rainbow and a brutish bull trout!
8/2/08 - The Lostine normally fisher fair to good for small native rainbows -- if you really work at getting into areas away from the campgrounds.
7/11/08 - Public access to the Lostine starts at the Forest Service boundary south of the town of Lostine. The river is clear, but still high.
Wallowa Lake - August 22nd, 2010
supplied by: Joseph Fly Shoppe, LLC RECORDED:70 °FISHING: Good
8-22-2010 FIshsing on the lake has been pretty decent of late, with some reports coming in of people catching larger 15-16" stockers which are nice and fat. Fishing near the inlet of the lake is always best, with nymphing being the most productive method. Try using wooly buggers in black and green, hot head buggers, hot head princes, and red copper johns. Don't be afraid to use a dropper as well, and egg patterns have had some reported success as the Kokanee are spawning.
8/11/10 Same as 8/1.
8-1-2010 The mouth of the river is still fishing decent for stocked trout. I feel you will have best success nymphing with wooly buggers, princes, san juan worms, copper johns, etc. in sizes 12-16. Smaller surface flies might get some takes in the late evening, griffiths gnats, humpies, and flying ants are a good bet. Regardless, nothing beats being on the water while Bald Eagels and Ospery scout for fish up above.
7/3/10 - Very good fishing for stocked bows some larger fish have even been picked up. Fish near the inlet where the river flows into the lake. Fishing has also been very good at Kinney Lake, Marr Pond, Salt Creek Pond.
7/1/10 - see 6/21/report - unchaned.
06-10-21 - Of course the big news is the four state/national/world record Kokanee caught so far this year (the last 9.1 lbs). Come join the fun. Trout fishing has also been very good. Try fishing the river mouth at the south end of the lake. A small lake east of Joseph called Kinney Lake is also a great lake to fly fish and is fish very good.
9/19/09 Trout fishing is slow for stocked trout. Kokannee are spawning and the river above the lake (south/inlet end) is closed for spawning Kokanee.
8/18/09 Jerry Logosz recently caught the Oregon State Record Kokanee at 7lbs 27 inches!! Wallowa Lake is still fishing decent for stocked rainbows with the last fish stocking of the season planned for mid August. Try using a sinking line or some split shot and a large weighted nymph like a wooly bugger with a small red midge pattern as a dropper. Kokanee are starting to spawn in the river above the lake and should not be left alone. This section of the river closes to all fishing on 9/1/09.
7/19/09 The state record kokanee was caught today by Jerry Logusz -- 7 lbs/27 inches. Trout fishing has been spotty during this heat spell. Ask.
7/9/2009 Wallowa lake continues to fish well. More reports have come in of people catching the larger holdover stockers. I suggest fishing in the early morning before the sun is on the water, then following the shadows as the sun rises, you will be garunteed a tranquill and probably solitary fishing experience on this breath taking mountain lake.
6/28/09 The fishing remains good on Wallowa lake. The frequent fish stocking at the state park will ensure everyone in the family catches fish. We have had a recent report of a monster rainbow being caught using a sinking line and a prince nymph. This would be a good approach if you are on the hunt for bigger game. Using a sink tip line or a full sink line and fishing with prince nymphs, wooly buggers, matuka spruce, copper johns, and soft hackles might get the big one you are searching for. Try using a double nymph set up as well. The inlet remains the best place for walk/wade fishing and a lime green copper john has been a productive pattern.
6/13/09 The lake is stocked frequently with trout at the south end near the state park. Small stockers can be fun but there are some much deeper fish in the lake too. The best fly fishing on the lake is at the inlet where the Wallowa River feeds the lake. The debris coming out of the wilderness here creates prime feeding ground for the trout. Recently we have had reports of good fishing using pheasant tails nymphs, and zugbugs. Bring your wading gear the water is cold, and wading out further at the inlet can produce larger fish.
9-20-08 Slow!
9-03-09 Wallow Lake was stocked with trout for Labor Day, but fishing has been fairly slow in recent weeks. Remember, the river above Wallowa Lake was closed to fishing on Sept. 1 to protect spawning Kokanee.
8/2/08 -Wallowa Lake has been fishing good for stocked trout. Try fishing in the lake near the river mouth -- wade out to where the lake bottom slopes down quickly and fish over the edge with bead-head woolly buggers or nymphs. If you have a boat or float tube you can tru fishing the shore lines will small dries like 16 griffith's knats, humpies, or ant patterns. Kokanne have started spawning early this year in the river that enters the lake -- you will spot the bright orange color -- so best to leave these fish alone.

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.
McKenzie River - July 17th, 2010
supplied by: The Flyfishers Place RECORDED:85 °FISHING: Good
We are seeing some good fishing in the upper stretches and middle stretches of the Mac and we are catching a number of fish on Dries which adds to the fun.
Cascade Lakes - June 20th, 2010
supplied by: Central Oregon Fishing RECORDED:72 °FISHING: Excellent
Summer weather is almost here. It has been a very unseasonably cool Spring so far. This has kept the water temperatures much cooler than normal for this time of year.
With the warming weather coming soon, the water should bump up in temperature and get the bug hatches going in earnest.
Fishing has been great at the Lava lakes when the wind has not been howling over 20mphs. Hosmer is just getting going now too. Access has been open to East Lake for the past several weeks and the fish have been cooperating nicely. Crane Prairie Reservoir has continued to amaze our clients daily with the size of her World Class Rainbow trout. She is not an easy place to tackle but their are few places in North America that can match her quality of fish!!! Please be sure to handle her fish carefully and release them properly so that we all can continue to enjoy her spectacular fishery for years to come...
Fishing small nymphs under an the indicator will prove to be the most productive method early season. Larger fish are always willing to chase bait so bring a healthy selection of buggers and streamers as well...
