Hope everyone has been enjoying summer! In spite of the occasionally very hot weather there has been some outstanding fishing opportunities. Recently I was able to land a Ling Cod on a fly out of Pacific City. It was a hard fighting and very good tasting fish!

August is a “bye” month as we don’t have anything scheduled as many members are on vacation or simply can’t make it with all the things on their calendars. Our next meeting will be September 17th.

It’s a good place to point out September, October and November are our most popular and productive Fish A Longs. (click the link for the schedule)

Just because we don’t have an “official” fish a long in August doesn’t mean we don’t have some fishing plans in the works. Personally I like to go after Smallmouth Bass in the Willamette, Rockfish in the Ocean or explore small streams for trout. If you are interested in jumping in let me know.

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 “August” or “September” and you’ll get all the past reports for that month. 

If there is anything you want to see on our blog, shoot me an email and let me know.

Good fishing!
