For this week’s fishing report, we have a guest
contributor. Sam Sickles of www.steelheadoutfitters.com gave
us an update on Saturday.
The Klickitat is
really starting to turn on too. Chinook
are now piling into the river and the meat crowd should be showing up in full
force rather quickly. The steelheading
is really becoming more consistent every day and we are shaping up to have a
great fall.
Hailey had a great evening fishing on the Klickitat on
Saturday, swinging flies on a dry line with her new Sage ONE and Lamson
Litespeed. She swung up a dozen trout,
including a couple of really nice ones.
What a way to break in that new rod and reel.
For the Deschutes , see the screenshot… Clarity has dramatically improved from the
White and dry line fishing is happening.
See you out there.
We have heard very few reports on the trout fishing lately, but
I would bet that it is improving nearly everywhere. The lower river temps should really get bugs
hatching and the fish biting. I would
love to be able to head over to the Metolius
this month, as the fishing is at its best there in September and
October. Mahogany Dun Mayflies should be
hatching on rivers, and trout love them.
Caddis hatches in the evening are also bringing trout up to the
surface.
Lost Lake has
still been fishing really well. It has
been one of the bright spots to holdup this summer during the heat. Laurence Lake
has been great too. The level in either lake
never got too low and fishing has been really good. Remember, targeting bull trout in Laurence Lake is prohibited. No reasonable
fisherman would be able to argue that an 8wt and a six inch rainbow trout
pattern are appropriate gear for catching the 12 inch average rainbow trout
that reside in the lake.
As always, we are happy to talk fishing any time. Give us a call if you have any specific
questions on local rivers, gear, and tactics, or if you just want some
encouragement to get out of the office.
