October 21st Fish-A-Long

This months Fish-A-Long will be held Saturday October 21st on the Deschutes River in Maupin.

The plan: meet at Paul Brewer’s place in Maupin between 8am and 9am. Coffee and doughnuts will be provided. We will then hit the river! Most likely we will travel down river to the area of Beavertail. There is ample parking and a nice area to fish.

Please email ponzdog@icloud.com if you plan to attend so we can get you a map to Paul’s place and also so we can get a head count.

Gear: 4 to 6wt rods with matching reel & floating lines. Indicator nymphing rigs with small glo- bugs and/or standard nymphs like Pheasant Tails and Hair’s ears. Swinging for steelhead is a possibility too but reports indicate steelhead fishing has been really slow. Waders with felt or cleated boots and layered clothing (can be cool in the morning).

Lunch: The club will provide lunch. Come to the meeting on the 16th to find out more.

This is a great time to fish the Deschutes River for trout as they will be concentrated below schools of spawning salmon and fishing can be excellent! This is also a great fish along to make an overnight trip.  There are many campgrounds and I may host dinner as well.  If interested in staying in Maupin come to the meeting on the 17th so we can measure the interest.

Questions: E-mail Paul at ponzdog@icloud.com
