Low Flow and/or High Temperature Waters :(
In general, depending on species, once
temperatures rise above the mid-60s F., trout can start feeling the
adverse effects of high temperatures.
Feeding will be reduced.
Sustained swimming becomes more laborious.
The ability to compete with other species for
common food sources is reduced once temperatures approach the 70s.
Higher temperatures can affect equilibrium.
Lethal temperatures, depending on species,
range from 74 F to 79 F. However, it's possible for trout to survive at
these temperatures if they locate cool thermal refuges, or if these high
temperatures are moderated by drops in temperature at night.
There are no hard and fast criteria that definitely determine when it's
okay to fish and when it's not. But anglers should be extra-cautious
handling trout when water temperatures reach the mid 60s. It's wise to
consider avoiding waters where temperatures reach 70 F. or more each day
during a sustained period. Watch fish behavior after you release them. If
they're sluggish or seem slower to recover than usual, they could be
stressed from the effects of high temperatures.
Diamond D Ranch
![]() ![]() ![]()
The Diamond D
Ranch has become our home away from home. As mid summer approaches Loon
Creek has been fishing very well, although the stone flies are over, big
attractor dry flies seem to fit the bill.

There are some really nice bull trout in this stream as well as on the
private lake on the ranch. Much to our amazement occasionally the bull
trout will chase the small rainbows we catch.
In addition to lodging at the ranch we are offering 3-4 day pack trips
six to twelve miles down Loon Creek for the wilderness fly fishing
experience of a lifetime.

The Cutthroat fishing this far in is phenomenal!!!

Grande Ronde Steelhead Clinic & BBQ
Fall and Winter were very good to us here at Dreams on the Fly...Our
first annual Steelhead Clinic & BBQ was a huge success, so much
so we have people booking for the upcoming clinic on September 24th,
2005. Our guests received 5 hours of steelhead fly fishing
instruction, knots and leaders, fly line types, and so much more. We spent
3 hours in the water, actually practicing what we taught. Then we
disbursed, with some heading home and others like Terry (below) fishing
and using the techniques we taught. The cost of the clinic is $50.00 and
includes all you can eat riverside BBQ.
