Rob Crandall will give us an on the river (creek) presentation starting

(covered area) around noon for some good chili (compliments of Lane),
and hopefully some good fishing stories. Please bring your own drinks for lunch.
General Fishing Information
The best approach is usually dead drifting the egg patterns under a
strike indicator. Another approach is to use short-line nymphing
techniques and dead drift without indicators.
Fishing Report - Updated 3/8/05
Eagle Creek Hatchery has had no new fish in the trap in the last 30 days! The water is low. We really need some rain to get the fish moving again.

The Post Fish-Along Report
No one caught any fish, but we did have some good chili, sunshine,
and conversation. The weather was spectacular and there were even a few
fish spotted. Maybe next weeks rain will bring some fresh fish into the
system. Rob (Crandall) did tell us that he caught a wild fish on the
creek on Friday (below the falls) so I guess there's always hope. 005 |
