Summer is officially over and the cooler days of fall are upon us. These are often the best times to spend on the water and CFF has some great Fish A Longs coming up.

Our October 20th meeting is at High Rocks. Social hour starts at 6pm and the program at 7pm. Our speaker will be Kelcee Smith, Ph.D. She is the Chum Salmon Reintroduction Coordinator for the ODFW and will be talking about the Chum Salmon Reintroduction Program. It will be a great presentation you won’t want to miss.

This months October 24th Fish A Long will be at Beavertail Campground on the Deschutes River. It’s one of our most popular Fish A Longs. Several are planning to go a few days early, camp out and have a steak BBQ. Here’s a link to last years report. Hope to see you there!

Another fishing opportunity to note is Justensen Ranch Lakes will be opening to fishing on October 5th. Many of us have fished there and we had a great fish a long there several years ago.

We will have a new club president in 2027. Bryan Dawson will be stepping up and taking the reins. Let’s all make him feel welcome and offer our suggestions for moving our club forward. Thanks Bryan!!

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 “October” or “November” in the Clackamas Fly Fishers website search box you’ll get all the past reports for that month. 

Good fishing!
