Obsession video on you tube Obsession video on you tube I just watched a video called obsession on you tube. All about fishing for browns in Oregon. Amazing!!! Check it out.

Took my 8 year old up to Hagg last saturday and had a great time. We fished the cove on the south side of the dam and did pretty well. Isaac had never caught a trout before and was thrilled when he got 3 nice rainbows. When he was reeling in the largest it was so funny watching his face, he had...

Interesting topic! Its nice to know there are other people who think the way I do. I have several places i want my ashes sprinkled. 1. South Junction on the Deschutes, my favorite riffle on the entire river. 2. Dairy Creek in the headwaters (Mountaindale area). Gorgeous Native Cutts! 3...

They fought really well, some even came out of the water multiple times. The section I fished was actually very clean. I brought a bag with me and cleaned up as I fished. Several beer and pop cans in the water but considering all the sunbathers it wasn't to bad. You ever fish the Lochsaw river in...

Beaverfan, you are 100% right! had to much trouble trying to take pics with my cell phone, should have brought the digi camera. Black foam ant pattern with a little orange on top for visibility. this fly floats very low and the trout seem to love it. very subtle takes. also used Elk Hair Caddis.

I fished MP 19 this morning and had an excellent day. Caught 7-8 cutts between 12-17 inches. They were everywhere. Used worms and also used my fly rod. Cutts are very healthy this year. The info I received from this forum made all the difference.

What milepost were you fishing near? I just got back from the Wilson myself and did very good on a fly rod. I caught around 30 cutts all were holding in long riffles in under 2-3 feet of water. Around 4-6pm the fishing turned on. The best fly I used was an Black Ant pattern with some orange on...

Thanks!! I kinda feel guilty, kept him out of the water just so I could get some good pics. Took awhile to revive it. His spots and red slash were unbelievable. Fish like this is what its all about. Nice to know some of our rivers are still healthy enough to produce fish like this.

Headed to the Wilson river after work Friday and fished around mile post 26 and 27. Spent most of my time trying to find a place to fish, way tooooo many sunbathers and partyers. Everytime I found a good spot someone already had it. Eventually I found a good stretch and caught 20-25 little ones...

Brad Vanderzanden from Streamside guide service is a fantastic fisherman. My son and I went out for sturgeon 1 week before it closed. My son has this fascination with Jeremy wade of river monsters and didn't believe oregon had any fish that size. We landed close to a dozen fish with 2 keepers...

Gorgeous Cutt!!! I took my boys to the wilson Monday night looking for cutts. We caught 15-20 small ones (smolts) but never did see anything bigger. Post a pic of that fly you were using, sounds interesting.

The last time my wife and I went to the Deschutes I was fishing with a large stonefly nymph with a hares ear dropper. Midday the wind really picked up, on a backcast the wind caught the fly just enough to brush the stonefly against my face. Between the heavy wind, flyline and double flies the...

My first trip up was by myself. Took my old Ford Ranger and it did pretty good. Last weekend I decided to load up the Ford Explorer with my wife, two boys and the dog. About 10 miles up I blew out one of my rear tires. It went flat in an instant. Huge pothole with a sharp rock in the bottom. Had...

Float tubing and flyfishing the only way to go!!! I was using a slow sinking flyline called the stillwater, the entire fly line is transparent and in theory catches more fish. this is an excellent flyline for the shallower lakes and fishing over weed beds. I was using callibaetis emergers...

North lake is 1 1/2 miles past Rainy. I`ve been hearing rumors of better fishing than Rainy or Black. It is a little deeper and should hold some bigger fish. I`m thinking about heading to North sunday for the day. I`ll let you know how i do.
