We’ve been having a longer than normal cold snap the last couple weeks and it looks like it will continue for a while. This cold weather & resulting plummeting water temperatures have shut down the fishing in our local waters. For a while at least, we have fly tying weather!
Since we are stuck with Fly Tying weather, this month’s meeting will focus on Fly Tying. Bring your fly-tying stuff to do some tying or feel free to watch our tyers & ask questions. We’ve done this before and it’s a fun meeting!
As we discussed at last month’s meeting, the location for our February 22nd Fish A Long is weather dependent, thus we are still waiting to see what our best prospect will be. Hopefully we’ll get some warmer weather to spark the bite at one of the OFC trout ponds.
Here is some good news: Marty & Mia Sheppard of Little Creek Outfitters are resurrecting the Sandy River Spey Clave. Mark your calendars for May 9th & 10th at Oxbow Park.
For several years now we have been posting monthly fishing reports. Looking back on them is a good way to get ideas for local fly-fishing opportunities currently happening or coming up. I’ve tested it out; type the word February or March in the search box and you’ll get all the past reports for that month.
Please remember our local fly shops and sporting goods stores. Hope to see you at a meeting or on the water!
