FLY TYING EXPO

This is a great event for anyone that is interested in tying flies.

I will be there on Saturday tying my new Steelhead Squid and Prawn flies

CRAZY WEATHER

The last few weeks has been some crazy weather.

Out fishing last week in 60 degree weather.

Yesterday morning it snowed hard for about 20 minutes.

I guess its Spring in Oregon if you don't like the weather just wait a few minutes it will change.

With all the crazy weather we did manage to hook and land this chrome Wild Hen on a Red Tandem Tube Fly.

MARCH TROUT FISHING

With the mild weather this week and overcast days it is perfect weather for some dryfly action on the Deschutes River. The Blue wing olive hatch starts around noon to 1:00 pm and ends about 3:00pm.
My best combination to use during the hatch is a parachute Blue Winged Olive in size #16 or 18

with a Baetis Emerger dropper size #18 fished just below the surface.

The Hatch will get better through March and also change to bigger Mayflies like March Browns.

GO BIG RED

Next time your out fishing this winter for steelhead don't forget to try a big red fly.

Over the years it has become a good color for me even in low clear water.

Make sure you have a good grip on your rod because they can hit this fly very aggressively.

BIG RED gets the job done on the Sandy river.
