Blue Bird Skies

What a beautiful start to spring. Most of the snow is gone. Access sites along the river are becoming accessible. No more ice on the eyelets. Done are the freezing fingers. Happy to be finished with frozen anchor ropes. The river banks are becoming busy between the mink, martin, and the occasional otter. The song […]

Just a Cub.

In like a lion and out like a lamb is the old saying for March. Well are lion is a cub this year. The weather is definitely a catch 22, the warm temps are pleasent but we are not going to get in snow melt to boost our water levels. Hope for April showers cause […]

Eggs Minus the Bacon

Skittles, sixlets, corn nuts, nerds, and popcorn are all wonderful foods. So it would only make perfect sense that trout absolutely love eggs. It must be like candy coming down the number line for hungry browns and bows. Excellent little orange morsels full of protein just flowing down the river waiting to be used as […]

Holidays!!

This report will be quick as I hope December is as well. Normally December is a great time to catch trout but this December for me has been slow. Steel are there to be caught, indies and swingers seem to finding steel but the streamer bite just seems to be off. The fall steel run […]

My BFF….

We need some water people!! There are steelhead to be caught but the set up for December kind of worries me. Worse case scenario one can always fish no more how tough the catching gets. Indicator (bobber), swinging, and streamers are the most practiced fly methods at the current time. I was lucky enough to […]
