September is always a good month and this year was no exception. We’ve got some great reports to share; pictures are first with the reports below.
From Lane Hoffman: got this big rainbow sight casting in 3 feet of water below Fontenot Reservoir.
From Chris Brehm: fished Paulina Lake with my brother Stevie and we got several nice trout.
From Rich Harvey: hit the upper Blackfoot River over Labor Day weekend after fishing Rock Creek. Place is very remote. Did well on 10-12” trout in the evening.
From Darryl Huff: Good day on the lower Deschutes. Hooked 10 – six on bead, four on spinners. Landed 5 wild steelhead and one nook.
From Mike Shiiki: Saturday on Lake Harriett… Nathan landed an 18” and 17” brown… biggest we’ve seen there. I landed more browns than rainbows.
From Darryl Huff: We spent a week in the Glacier National Park area. Spent multiple days fishing the Flathead River. Very little aquatic life on the river so the fish feed on beatles, grasshoppers, ants, etc. Quite a few smaller Cutthroat were caught, but only a few in the 12 to 13 inch range. Scenery was beautiful!!
From Matt Baker: Fished Marion Creek on the way home from the fish a long. Great little creek, a dozen fish in an hour. Good times. Got some fly tying help this month too!
From Rich Harvey: got some big bluegill at Howell Ponds in late September.
From Chris Brehm: was able to hit the Bighorn River this month.
From Wayne Hughes: Fished the upper Willamette river for Silvers and found success again this year. Also caught lots of both Largemouth and Smallmouth bass on surface poppers.
From George Krumm: Fished the Naknek River for rainbows then went bear viewing at Brooks Camp.
From Rich Harvey: Fished the Gallatin and the Taylor’s fork of the Gallatin, Upper Firehole and the Gibbon. It was super cool to fish with my brother and nephew again
From Amanda Justesen (Justesen Ranch Lakes): We are now open for fall fishing and reports this week have been good. We are restocking several lakes this week.
Thanks to everyone for contributing reports!
