SHOPS OPEN IN RIVERSTONE!!!!
Winter fishing has arrived. Deep water nymphing should be the best technique for awhile. Possible still some BWO's or midges coming off in the afternoon, but will be a fairly sporadic ordeal. Concentrate on the lower river in some of the deeper runs and you should be able to find some fish. Streamers can also be effective this time of year. Check Weather on:The

St. Joe (Click for more info.) The Steelheading is really good, but the catching has slowed a little. With the colder water a sink tip will help put your fly in front of their face and not make them chase quite as far. Not getting the lurching grabs as much, but there are still a lot of fish willing to move a little ways for a fly. Getting better reports from the Clearwater in the last week, and the Grand Ronde and Snake are still fishing well. the nicest part about this time of year...the the crowds have thinned out considerably.

Although we do not guide the local lakes, we are out on them almost daily, so we will always have an up-to-date report. The most effective patterns we've found are small leech and damsel patterns, including the Ruby Eye Leech, Carey Special, Olive Wooly Bugger, and the Boucher Special. If you don't have a boat, call us at the shop for a great deal on several different pontoon boat packages from Bucks Bags. Check Weather
