The Caddis Fly: Oregon Fly Fishing Blog

Crane Prairie Reservoir has been very slow. Davis Lake bass fishing is decent early and late in the day. Hosmer Lake has been pretty good fishing in the channel connecting the upper and lower lakes with small nymphs like Flashback Pheasant tails and Prince nymphs in sizes #14-18. Gold lake has been fair with small Damsel nymphs, Chironomids,  Mickey Finns, and small  buggers.

Diamond Lake has been the most productive lake thus far. Fly fishing the south end with Chironomids and mini-leech type patterns. Calibeatis hatches have been consistent but fishing subsurface has been best. It should be a great fall for the rainbows of Diamond lake, fish who grow an incredible 2 inches per month.-CD
