Presidents Message June 2024

Hope everyone has been having a good spring. I just returned from a fun trip to the Deschutes at Trout Creek. The fishing was a little bit challenging but we got fish every day, plus it taught us a few new tricks and the weather was perfect.

Our speaker for the June18th meeting will be Joe Warren. His presentation will be on fly fishing in the Pacific Ocean. I had the opportunity to fish with Joe last summer and well did well fly fishing for Rockfish & Salmon.

We have a GREAT Fish A Long lined up this month. Chris B has generously offered to host a multi day fish a long at his place between Sunriver and LaPine. I am sending an email out with the details; heres a link to the 2022 report: https://clackamasflyfishers.org/2022/07/27/july-2022-fish-a-long-report/

This coming weekend is Free Fishing Weekend in Washington. Several years ago we had a Fish A Long on the Washington side of Bonneville Dam for Shad. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend but contact me for details (gear, flies & a fishing map). The water level looks good this year! 

For several years now we have been posting monthly fishing reports. Looking back on them is a fun way to get ideas for local fly fishing opportunities currently happening or coming up. Type “June” or “July” and you’ll get all the past reports for that month. 

Please remember our sponsors, they are the lifeblood of the club. Stop by their shops and let them know you appreciate their support. Better yet buy something or book a trip. 

Good fishing! 

Dave Kilhefner
