SANDY RIVER FLYFISHING PHOTOS

     

RIVER LEVELS IN OREGON

The Rivers around the Portland Area did not go up as much as other rivers especially the Southern Oregon Rivers.
The Sandy and Clackamas are up but still very fishable from what I thought was going to happen with this big storm we were suppose to get.
The Rogue is still at FLOOD STAGE and Peaked around 100,000 CFS.
The Lower Umpqua also hit 100,000 CFS, that is a lot of water.
Since we don't have much of a Snow pack on MT HOOD there is nothing to melt with the warm rain.
I cancelled some trips because of the forecast for rain and high water, just goes to show we have all this info at our finger tips and still can be wrong on predicting fishing conditions.

DECEMBER CHROME

Well we got out on the Sandy just before the big rains hit on Saturday.

Friday was a perfect day with warm air temps and dry weather for the most of the day.

We landed this nice Wild Hen on a Orange and Red Silvenator.

Good way to start the season, now just need to wait for the water to drop.

Hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

CAPTION CONTEST

SANDY RIVER FLYFISHING REPORT

Well it has been tough to get any fish on the Sandy here lately, without much rain and low very clear water. Makes these fish tough to catch.
Even with those conditions we found a beautiful Big Wild fish last week.
This fish hammered a Black and Blue Marabou fly tied sparse for low water.
That is why I love winter fishing, YES ITS TOUGH BUT LOOK AT THE PAYOFF!
Pray for more rain!!!!
Thanks Marty Howard for the great photos.

COLD WEATHER FISHING

Tough to cast when the guides are locked up with ice.

Was out on the Sandy River early last week in the frozen zone. Fishing was tough but we did at least
hook one fish. The water was probably 35 degrees in the morning.
The weather has changed now and hopefully the warmer weather will bring in some fresh fish.
If winter steelhead fishing was easy everyone would do it!!

DESCHUTES STEELHEAD SEASON 2012

These are some of my favorite photos I took of the Deschutes River 2012 Steelhead Season.
With only a few trips left in my season on the Deschutes it is great to look back at all the photos I took.

Thanks to everyone that fished with us this year!
Looking forward to the 2013 season.
