I took a break from rod building today and ventured out on Whychus Creek below our house here in Sisters, Oregon.\u00a0 It’s about 400 feet down a steep canyon to get to the water, but rather than climb down the hillside from my house, I drove over to a nice trailhead on the other side of the creek just across from our house.\u00a0 It’s about a mile hike from the trailhead down a nice trail to the creek.\u00a0 This area get’s almost no people fishing these waters so I was pretty excited to see how I would do.\u00a0 The creek is a nice water level this time of the summer, and the water temperature was still nice and cool.\u00a0 Because it’s small water and quite overgrown with trees, I selected my 7′\u00a0 0″\u00a0 4 wt Signature Series bamboo fly rod for the day.\u00a0 Some of the smaller fish were willing to take dry flies but it wasn’t until I changed over to nymphs that I got into half a dozen\u00a0 nicer fish in the 11″ to 12″ range.\u00a0 I had the creek to myself and loved my time searching the creek for “fishy water”.\u00a0 And…I also donated quite a few flies in the tree branches along the stream edge.\u00a0 Here are a few photos of my morning adventure:<\/p>\n

Several little rainbows showed interest in my dry flies.<\/p><\/div>\n

Yep, there is my house about 400 ft. up from the creek at the top of the canyon.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
