In spite of another hot, extra dry summer August was a good month to get out on the water. As always, pictures first with the reports below.





From Tim McSweeney: Sorry I’ve been so MIA this summer, been fishing a lot! Excited for the next meeting to catch up and swap summertime fish tales. Spent the last week fishing for bull trout on the Metolius and caught a whole bunch of angry fish.

From Matt Isham: McKenzie was straight up good trout fishing! Chernobyl and dropper or skating a dry fly produced action.

From Chris Brehm: Got out for a few Tuna trips plus a limit of Salmon at Buoy 10.


From Greg O’Brien: Brother visited and I took him out on the Willamette for bass on the fly. We got a few; always fun and close to home.
From Jim Behrend: Went to North Santiam once which was not rewarding, and to the Wilson a week ago. It was low and fishing was not great. Hopefully rain will help.



From Dave Kilhefner: Went out on the ocean out of Depoe Bay with Joe Warren. We had good fishing for Rockfish and Tuna plus landed a couple silver salmon. Double limits of crab was a great bonus too!
Thanks to everyone for contributing your reports!
