Green Caddis Gives Some Hot Trout Action

This past Wednesday was filled with some super hot trout fishing action. The lesser than desirable weather had caused the fishing to be really hot out there. We experienced some of the large green caddis, and they were pulsing off all throughout the day. We only had about one hour and a half of really hot dry fly action, but fishing a large dry fly with a possie bugger nymph was the hot producer out there otherwise. The possie bugger nymph caught lots of fish all day long ranging from 10"-17" (most ranging from 12"-14"), and here and there a fish would clobber the large dry fly offering as well. From about 1-2:30 there was a cranking green caddis hatch peak hatch time where the fish were looking up and pouncing upon every green caddis struggling to take off from the water. It was "what it is all about" out there, and we got to experience it! The benefits of having some showers out there keeps the trout fishing really hot.   

Lots & lots of fish like this all day long......

The first heavy pulse of green caddis action made the action really pick up.

Lots of tight lines with all of the hot action.....

This hot rainbow was hiding in a little side pothole next to a heavy riffle

When fishing a dry fly and dropper nymph, it is apparent how important the nymph is.

Steelheading Has Been Consistant and Steady

Angler With Nice Willamette Valley Summer Steelhead

This is only going to be a brief quick report, and I will have to put a more detailed report up in a couple of days when I have a break from guiding and working at the Orvis Shop. Recently, I have been out guiding a lot, and the fishing has been very steady for summer steelhead. We have been getting fish just about every time out now, and some days are multiple hookup days, and other days are good for one fish. Some of the days, I have been out guiding for both trout and steelhead, and on those days the trout action has been pretty good. Lots of fish are being caught (troutwise), and the average is on the smaller side, but by days end typically there have been several nice trout landed, and the smaller fish are making the catch numbers higher. I will be out on the river, and when I get a break, I will be posting some videos, and I will put up a much more detailed report of the last week's fishing.
Tight Lines!!!!
