I just love fishing in rough water and there's been plenty of it in the last month with all the big blows that have been occurring. Those big winds especially those right in your teeth generate a lot of white water and a moving surf.  It stirs up the bait and gets the stripers active. Today was a perfect example. I fished this afternoon in a big...

..but the Trout did come thru for us this morning. I had met Sam Brown his father Dennis and Sam's girlfriend Tany up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early this morning with a tide that was high and still coming in. It was a beautiful morning as we eased out of Eagans Creek then made our way up and around to the Jolley River where we eased into the b...

It may well be natural processes in Norfork Lake that led to the massive fish kill in the National Fish Hatchery but its important to remember its not natural at all. There wouldn’t be trout a hatchery or the issues of dissolved oxygen without the 81-year-old half mile long concrete and steel dam. The hatchery […]

These will be short - it's getting late and I've got a trip early tomorrow... I fished with Cal early today meeting him out at Goffinsville Park boat ramp for a fishing trip and then a tour of the area - he's a new property owner and wanted to check the river out. We hit Twin Creeks down the Nassau and drifted floats with the current - Cal caught...

Solid article in Outdoor life on the decisions facing fisheries managers in heavily pressured fisheries like the North Platte in Wyoming. You might recall Wyoming fisheries managers banning pegged beads or worms in June on catch and release sections of the North Platte to protect trout from hooking injuries or mortality. Like our tailwaters the […]

We have a full moon. Stable water temps in the 60s and the bass are feeding aggressively. This might have been my best week of fishing all year. I have guided 4 days this week and my catch rate has been 40 per day with 10 fish a day over 4lbs and best 5 close to 25lbs each day. The deep ledge bite as always is really good with a big plug. The fro...

This is one of many hefty schoolies that I landed in the last couple of  days. This one hit my NLBN paddle tail a hot lure this fall. The stripers and bait are on the move along the oceanfront.  The last few days have featured big blitzes of schoolies in multiple locations. Most of these fish have been huge schools of schoolies in the 18 to 22 i...

By Robbie Upriver Coho Salmon fishing has been decent! Stripping flies for Coho is one of my favorite fisheries in Oregon. It can be Type II fishing when a whole bunch them are splashing around you and no one is … Continue reading →

We waited for the tide to turn before we started today - I met David Bolton and his grandson Michael over at their dock on Lanceford Creek at 9am - the tide had just turned and started out. It was a beautiful morning with sunshine clear skies and just a slight breeze. We didn't go far - we came around to Soap Creek and fished a large drainage wit...

A detailed look at the Emergency Catch and Release Regulation issue by Lynn Burkhead in Fly Fisherman.com It’s big news in a region where White River and Norfork River trout fishing contributes millions to the local economy annually. And since the year-round trout fishing potential–including the region’s famed winter streamer season–is fodder on so...

Another cold front has stacked the fish up out on the ledges. 75% of the boats out deep are shaking a minnow which is absolutely a great way to catch them. However I have found if you do something different you can find a bite that hasn't been pressured. Cranking deep ledges on the river and in the creeks is a very efficient procedure that ca...

The deer hunters are in the woods and it's too cold for the weekend warriors. The fishing pressure has decreased and the fishing is spectacular. Saturday my client's first bite was a 10lb 4ounce and we landed 50 with a best 5@ 32lbs. The last two weeks I have averaged 50 a day and best 5@25lbs. The lake is as healthy as it has ever been a...
