I just got back from 3 days of fly fishing on the Upper Williamson River in Southern Oregon with my good friend and fishing buddy Bill.\u00a0 We stayed a great place, Yamsi Ranch<\/a>, which has 8 miles of spring creek water flowing through the ranch.\u00a0 Ranch guests are the only ones who have access to the river so there is plenty of water to get out and fish.\u00a0 John, Gerry, Dayton, and Sally are fantastic hosts at the ranch, which has been around for over 100 years.\u00a0 Fishing is for native brookies and rainbows on miles of beautiful spring creek water.\u00a0 Fishing in the river was non-stop action for Bill and I…small bead head leaches in the mornings, mahogany dun dries mid-day, and hoppers in the afternoons.\u00a0 Bill and I lost track of how many fish we caught.\u00a0 I fished most of the time with my 8′\u00a0 0″\u00a0 5 wt Signature Series medium action bamboo fly rod, but went to my 8′\u00a0 0″\u00a0 6 wt medium fast action Freestone Series rod for the afternoon hopper sessions.\u00a0 We also got the chance to fish for a few hours in Hyde Lake on the ranch.\u00a0 It was loaded with huge rainbows…nothing was under 21″.\u00a0 Again, leaches worked great for these big rainbows, as well as callibaetis nymphs stripped slowly along the weed beds.\u00a0 What a great trip we had.\u00a0 Here are a few photos:<\/p>\n
