September is always produces good fly fishing action. We’ve got some great reports to share; pictures are first with the reports below.
From Chris Brehm: Landed a personal best Redband rainbow at Upper Klamath lake on a Boobie Fly. Fished Davis with Lane & he got the only fish, a nice bass. Caught some nice Rainbows on beetles at Paulina Lake. Fished Hosmer with brother Stevie B. and best fish of the day was this Cut-bow on an Adam’s.
From Lane Hoffman: traveled to the Bahamas & fished out of Nassau for bonefish. Fishing, food and accommodations were top notch!
From Greg O’Brien: The trifecta at an Oregon Fishing Club lake. A couple 18”+ trout were surprises on a foam bass topwater fly (the Stealth Bomber pattern).
From Mike Shikki: Nathan and I had a great day at Timothy Lake, fooling a bunch of rainbows and a nice Brookie. Landed some cutthroats on the lower Trask in mid Sept. The biggest surprise happened on the Clackamas in late Sept; went looking for trout and hooked 4 Coho & landed 3 with my 6wt and a leech pattern. All were nice natives.
From Mark Rasmussen: Taught a couple buddies how to fish. Went on an Alaskan Cruise and was able to get out for a quick fly fishing outing.
From Bob Beswick: was able to fish Diamond & Little Lava lakes this month.
From Patrick Leonard: Floated the McKenzie River we my son; we had a lot of fun. Fished the North Santiam River a couple times; lots of fish on a Dry/Dropper plus had a steelhead hit my dry but I missed him. Dang!
From Darryl Huff: Steelhead fishing on the Lower Deschutes has been excellent. The Double Cheeseburger Stonefly fished below an indicator with an 8wt worked for steelhead and salmon.
From George Krumm: fished the Naknek River in late September for rainbow
From Wayne Hughes: Spent the last days of the Month chasing silvers on the Willamette river. The total run to this point is smaller than the last two years but I was still able to find some aggressive fish willing to give my eight weight a work out. Salt water sized Clousers in assorted colors did the trick.
Thanks to everyone for contributing reports!
