November weather is always a crapshoot…but this year we got lucky! After a couple short squalls on Thursday we had nearly perfect fall weather the rest of the weekend.

The turnout was very good. Fishing wasn’t hot but everyone got fish. One reason for the slower bite was the big bright Beaver Moon each night (pics below). Also, the water was up a little and slightly more colored than last month; flowing at 4,355 cfs (last month it was 4,100 cfs).

Egg patterns were the best producer, but we also had action on nymphs, emergers and even dries.

Trout made up most of our catch but when you could find a pod of whitefish, they were cooperative! On Saturday we shared the water with Gills and Gals Pdx organized thru Northwest Fly Fishing Outfitters. It was a fun day and before leaving Shannon gave us her leftover gourmet sandwiches which were delicious!

There were not as many sheep running around as last month but we saw a few. It’s always fun the scan the cliffs looking for them.

Thanks to everyone who made the trip over the mountain, it was another fun Fish A Long!
