May 2025 Presidents Message

We’ve gotten a lot of water this spring and it’s made stream fishing challenging. When this happens its important to be flexible! The warm weather has the local Bluegills getting active and they can provide lights out action; the other day I hit a local pond and had a great time!

I’ll be giving a presentation on Euro Nymphing at our May 20th meeting at High Rocks.

Usually we’d have the Fish A Long the weekend after our meeting, but that falls on Memorial Day weekend. I’m unable to go the weekend before like we did last year so we won’t have a Fish A Long this month. On the good side, there is plenty of fishing opportunities happening so Check out our website for ideas.

Another reminder that Marty & Mia Sheppard of Little Creek Outfitters are resurrecting the Sandy River Spey Clave and it’s happening this week. Hope to see some of you out there.

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 “May” or “June” 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!
