Hi VFB! September and early October were just wonderful here in central Oregon for camping. Perfect temperatures, no people, no bugs, no wind, etc. etc. Was the best experience in years. At least a side benefit from the ongoing drought.
Fishing during that time wasn't anything to complain about. Managed some rainbows around four pounds. Now, however, the last week of the general fishing season, getting out is a bit of an adventure! I am headed to Wickiup Reservoir this afternoon and early evening to C&R fish for the big brown trout staging at the creek mouths prior to the spawn. Weather is significantly changing, rainy and windy, and unpredictable. We may get our first significant snowfall of the season in the high country over the weekend. We really need that badly, no snow again this winter and the coming season will be kaput. We have six-square-mile lakes here with only a foot deep water. Fish are jammed into the deeper channels. Not a healthy situation.
