The Caddis Fly: Oregon Fly Fishing Blog

Long time friend, employee, and instructor for the shop, Tony Torrence landed the two monster fish pictured below this past weekend on the Middle Fork of the Willamette.

The Fish were taken on a size # 8 Mega Prince Nymph. The river is a bit but in a good way. Fishing has been very good. Hatches have been numerous, a variety of small caddis, October Caddis, Blue Winged Olives, and Gray Drakes have all been available to the healthy trout of the Middle Fork. Best fishing has been mid-day on, warmer afternoon evenings have seen the fishing hold up while a quick cool down around 6pm can shut things down a bit. Late September and October are excellent times to fish the Middle Fork both above and below Hills Creek dam.-CD
