October is always a great month and we have reports ranging from Louisiana to Alaska and even Egypt! Pictures are first with the reports below. Enjoy!

From Laura McGuill: Thanks!! Tough conditions for sight fishing… managed to get that slot red in. High winds, overcast clouds, and fair amount of surface chop, hard to spot them!!

From Greg O’Brien: Ever since Elke and Alysia gave a presentation at a club meeting a while back I’ve wanted to steelhead fish their waters.  I finally made it happen and was rewarded.

From Lane Hoffman: My friend Lars & I hit the Ham’s Fork of the Green River WY. Hiked down to the river realizing we both left our cell phones in the Jeep! Guaranteed that we would catch a big fish! I landed one pushing 24 inches, maybe the best looking Rainbow I’ve ever caught….then Lars landed one a little bigger than mine. Lost a couple of other’s to the weeds. Beautiful Wyoming weather & scenery! God’s country!

From Rich Harvey: Water really low in Trask and Wilson but landed some nice resident & sea run cutts.

From Kevin Rogers: Had a crazy good day up by Cascade Locks and put over 40 in the boat.

From Dave Kilhefner: Rich Harvey & I hit Turner Lake in mid October. We tried several different things but stripping streamers was the ticket for some good sized trout & bass.

From Patrick Leonard: fished the Klickitat in early October with Hopper/Dropper (egg dropper) and caught a bunch of smaller trout. Hit the Cowlitz for searuns using a Hopper/Dropper and had a blast…and of coarse fished the N Santiam for rainbows which is always fun.

From Rich Harvey: Dave Hopkins got a nice little silver while tossing flies for sea run Cutts on the Wilson.

From George Krumm: here’s a few shots from my annual October trip to the Naknek swinging big flies with two-handed rods.

From Chris Brehm: did some traveling overseas but did get a chance to fish the Nile River below Aswan Dam one day. Got my personal best Nile Perch. A Camel Hair Scarab Beetle Emerger tossed with a 15wt rod was the ticket!

Thanks to everyone for contributing your reports!
