We are probably all glad to put this February behind us; it’s been one cold and rainy month that’s made fishing challenging.
In spite of the weather some of us still had to get in some fishing time. Pictures are first with the report below.
From Rich Harvey, Dave Hopkins and Dave Kilhefner: We attended an OFC work party at Howell Ponds. Afterwards, we had lunch and they stocked the lake. Fishing was slow so we headed over to Schmedeke Pond, which had also just been stocked. The fish were cooperative and well all landed several nice fish. Rich got a couple real pigs on a chironomid.
From Mike Shiiki: Drove up to Harriett Lake and the roads via Hwy 224 were clear. It was dumping rain but fished a couple hours and landed about 10 browns. Most were smallish but had one 16” that took a black/red half wit leech fished with an intermediate line.
From Craig Kerschen: Managed an afternoon on the D between the cold and high water. Nice quiet winter fishing above Maupin. BWO were out but only saw one fishing rise.
From Ed Rabinowe: All I’ve done in the last month is try to stay out of the rain and mud on my farm!
From Ken Kelley: caught a beautiful & healthy Cutthroat while steelhead fishing on a coastal stream.
From Mark Rasmussen: Landed one decent brown on the Provo River on a size 22 Midge emerger. My brother in law got many more & larger fish euro nymphing.
Thanks to everyone for contributing your reports this month!
