Owyhee River Fishing Report (5-15)
After putting the final touches on our new television program (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id4MveRQsW0&list=UUWM-ZSQE4zIPwVuiBsUpWTA&index=1), I decided it was time to go let off some steam and sore mouth some brown trout on the Owyhee. It was a spur of a moment notice, and my buddy Brandon R., met me at the freeway in Caldwell and we were off [...]
Day 2 found us back on the same stretch of river we fished the day before with an idea that we apply what we learned from yesterday. We didn’t anticipate that the river would absolutely shut down. No feeding fish, no searcher bug working, no takers casting to the edges…no everything. We caught 2 small fish for [...]
Henry’s Fork Fishing Report (5-6) 65 Degrees, Windy at Times
When you have fished a river and won big, there is a very high bar to hurdle; and even though our two days on the Henry’s was pretty successful, we conceptually didn’t set a higher bench mark. All conditions indicated there should have been tons of fish working the surface. There were swatches of caddis, March Browns, [...]
Big Lost River Fishing Report (5-5) 62 Degrees, Sunny, Little Wind
There are days in dry fly fishing when you catch 20 fish and you still feel you didn’t capture the river on that day. Our day on the Big Lost River seemed a little like that. We saw larger fish than we caught even though some of the larger fish were on the reds and [...]
Owyhee River Report (4/27) 75 degrees; Sunny/Overcast; a bit Windy
It’s all about the Caddis! The river system has changed dramatically in the last week. You can still catch a fish on a “Slow Stone,” but the fish are moving off that bug. There are still some small bugs with a large BWO and some midge hatches, but the new game in town is a [...]
Boise River (in Town) Report (4/23) 56 degrees; partly cloudy/mild wind
I’ve been sneaking off to the Boise River over the last couple of weeks in the afternoon and exploring the Boise River in town. We have a lot of fishermen who fish the river in town, and I was trying to get some bug combinations that are working well right now. The first time I [...]
Owyhee River Report (4/19): 50 degrees, Rainy/Windy
Every so often you fish and everything that could possibly go wrong…goes wrong. We were trying to pick up a few fish on the tail out of the skwala hatch; and every time we had the camera out, it started raining. We’d put the camera away, and automatically we’d hook fish. There were no real [...]
Owyhee River Report (4-7) 57 degrees; Rainy/Hail; Hard wind
Can you spell “wind”? Yes wind; hard wind all day long, mostly blowing downriver, but sometimes swirling. You couldn’t hide from it on any turn of the river, and it was relentless. At times it blew so hard that it would simply lift the fly line out of the water, and it would be straight [...]
