Stonefly

[Redside]

Hello all. I've been out of state for the past two weeks and was wondering if I've missed the best of the stonefly hatch around Maupin? Anyone been out there in the last few days? I'd like to go out some time this week but was wondering if I should shoot for somewhere further upstream.

I don't know about Maupin, but there were a lot of folks at Warm Springs yesterday morning. When I crossed the bridge I saw three drift boats headd out and a couple more at the ramp. There were pleanty of folkks fishing the bank up river from the ramp. Almost look like there was a fly fishing class or something going on. I didn't stop to check it out.

I haven't been over there, but from what I hear the stoneflies were just getting started around Maupin last week, so you could be in luck.

If I can make it out there this week I'll give an update.
