With knowledge from The Fly Fisher’s Place to you, we provide Local Fishing Reports to help you find the fish you are casting for. We have daily experience on the rivers local to Central Oregon and want to share that knowledge with you so you can find success.

Since you treasure the Metolius thought I’d share. We were at Smiling River for 4 days this last week. We’ve never seen such a mess. Dumpsters overflowing and trash spread around. I know Allingham campground looked the same don’t know about others. Late in the week a campground host showed up and was also appalled. With wind this will end up in the river. As of Friday afternoon most dumpsters were still overturned going into Memorial weekend. The few usable ones will likely overflow. I have emailed forest service and have a photo if they ask.
Jeff, this is Max. Julie and I hit East today from 10-1:30. Weather good. Some slight chop, then the wind got up. Fished Hot Springs in 10-17 feet. Trolled/pumped double small buggers on intermediate. Did some bobbering, but not a ton. Hardly marked a fish at all, even all the way west to sandstone bluff and out in middle. One trout and 4 punk Kokes. Pretty bad! 5 trailers in lot and no big boats. Hardly anyone angling. Water greenish with 4-5 feet of visibility. Down to Diamond for a few days on Monday. Will let ya know. Thanks for all you do!…….me
So is it your experience that most takes are on the front hook of those multiple hooks. Maybe we all start suggesting to cut the trailer hook.
Thought you might like to know. It has finally happened. Callabeatis at east lake.
10am until sometime afternoon. Another day that memories are made of. Happy fishing!!!!
