Cold cold water!

The water was damn cold Sunday with all the snow melting, but fishing was decent and we even got a decent bwo hatch with a couple on dries. Mostly a nymph show but we did connect on a streamer fish as well.

Yeah, it was pretty. It actually got wrapped in a stick and I went in and netted it for my fishing partner. We normally get one at least that big every trip. I love winter in the valley!

a river in the willamette valley...

Oh, OK...... I'm so glad I don't have to fish over there.

 

[bigthackara]

More than happy to talk about privately just not publicly. I have put a lot of work in to find these large valley trout, just don't want to ruin it.

Not to sidetrack or hijack (nice fish by the way) but when you have your town location listed and say willamette valley river it really narrows down what river since so few are open for trout still. Go ahead and share, no one will chase you off your hole.

Id rather you buy me dinner first if your going to talk about my hole! Playin!

You can fish almost the entire valley all winter! That's the beauty of it!

Hear ya on this! I'll name a river but no specific locations, but if you happen to recognize that spot in my pix, then so be it.
