The March & April fishing reports are finally out! Pics are first with the reports below.
From Lane Hoffman: Chris Brehm & I had some good Bull Trout action on Lake Billy Chinook.
From Mark Rasmussen: landed one decent brown on the Provo River on a size 22 midge emerger. As usual, my brother in law got many more fish, mostly larger, euro nymphing.
From Ken Kelley: landed my first steelhead on the Wilson River using a Black & Red Aero Jig.
From Greg O’Brien: I fished the OFC Rainier Ponds OFC and it was slow going with no bites until a hatch came off late morning. Had a couple takers in the 18” range on a size 14 emerger.
From George Krumm: had some decent Spring Chinook action gear fishing on the Lewis River.
From Mike Shiiki: Took Darryl H on our annual spring break trip to the Owyhee but the water levels were ridiculously high. We ended up in Maupin. Water was high & fishing was tough but we all got fish, including a hatchery steelhead!
From Dave Kilhefner: Rich Harvey & I had some good action on the OFC ponds.
From Rich Harvey: had a good day with Dave K on Turner Lake. Saw a lady fishing with her dog on her float tube. They landed some nice trout and it was alot of fun to watch.
April Reports:
From Chris Brehm: Brother Stevie B and I fished the opener at Crane Prairie with solid success using balanced Leeches and Bloodworm Midge Chironomids. Over several days we landed over 50 Cranebows up to 18” and a few small Brookies. We also hit Davis Lake and managed a decent stringer of bass.
From Brad Jonasson: Early April, high water, nice day. Fished the Deschutes in the Long Bend area. Surprised to catch this 17″ Redside near bank in a side channel normally devoid of water. Next day had a 15″ Redside from the same place.
From Ken Kelley: On the Wilson in April, chasing Steelhead
From Mark Rasmussen: Lots of fishing, but no hero stories. I did outfish powerbait at kinglsey reservior with a San Juan worm.
From George Krumm: Had some gear-caught springers plus some pike and walleyes from Wisconsin.
Thanks to everyone for contributing your reports!
