Middle Fork of the Willamette Report
Thursday was another bright warm day on the Middle Fork, with a billion Grannom Caddis. Frankly I am getting a bit tired of these little guys. Swarms of bugs and very few fish up is simply disheartening. The water on … Continue reading
McKenzie and Willamette rivers reset with high water
Recent down pours have been hammering our local waters. We do need the water, and the fish never mind a reprieve from pressure, especially on a low water year. As the rivers drop into shape late this week how should … Continue reading
McKenzie in great shape, Caddis hatch developing
The McKenzie and Willamette rivers remain in fantastic (low water) condition. Boating and wading conditions are ideal. March Browns continue to emerge daily, however bright and windy conditions have made the usually reliable March Brown fishing a bit slow compared … Continue reading
Local rivers rise but not out, March Brown Hatch in full swing
Recent rains did bump the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers, however they are still very low compared to historical flows. Look for the rivers to begin dropping back down right away. We have some great weather fore-casted for early in the … Continue reading
Middle Fork of the Willamette March Report
The Middle Fork of the Willamette river is currently flowing at about 400 cubic feet per second, this is super low and makes the river extremely accessible on foot. The water below Black Canyon Campground normally slow and lake influenced, … Continue reading
Middle Fork Willamette Report: It’s Still Good
With promising reports streaming in from the lower Mckenzie, I decided some subsurface sampling on Middle Fork of the Willamette was in order. I’m a misanthrope like that and besides, I resolved to fish the MFW at least once a … Continue reading
Water Conditions Ideal For Trout and Steelhead
It’s been a few years since we’ve had early spring weather and water conditions like we do right now. Both the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers are way down at “Summer Like” flows. Coastal rivers are in fine shape today and … Continue reading
December on the Middle Fork Willamette
Some time ago I argued that Oregon has the best year around angling of any state in the U.S. period. It’s still true. As the eastern half of the United States tried to dig itself out from a blizzard, Greg … Continue reading
Middle Fork of the Willamette fishing great
The Middle Fork of the Willamette fished very well this Thursday. Best flies were Morrish October Caddis, Mega Prince and Possie Buggers. It was an incredibly nice fall day, no wind, warm temperatures and lots of fish. Just a classic … Continue reading
Local Fall Fishing Update
Fishing held up nicely this past week despite some very cold and wet conditions. The coming weeks prediction is for gorgeous weather and ideal river levels for both trout and steelhead fishing. The McKenzie is fishing well in it’s entirety. The Middle Fork … Continue reading
Summertime small stream fly fishing wrapping up
Don’t get me wrong, I’m eager for October Caddis hatches, coastal salmon in our rivers, and football on TV. But it’s great to get a last blast of summer. Nate and I hiked a few miles of an Upper Willamette … Continue reading
McKenzie River Fly Fishing Report
Fall is definitely is the air. Even when high temperatures reach towards 90 degrees this week, it’s only for a hour out of what is perfect early fall weather. The only problem is it doesn’t last for 6 months! The … Continue reading
Fly fishing opportunities remain strong around Eugene area
The Middle Fork of the Willamette near Oakridge is fishing surprisingly well despite low water and high sun conditions. Today would have been fantastic with the clouds, tomorrow as well. Try hopper dropper set ups fishing the fast water and … Continue reading
Dry fly action on Middle Fork Willamette after dinnertime
We waded the Middle Fork Willamette this evening, picking up plenty of wild trout on nymphs early with dry fly action later — after 7pm. Megaprince was the hot nymph for the day, scoring some nice fish for Matt Siegmund. … Continue reading
