Hey! Great video. I hope to hit a couple of creeks/rivers as we head up the coast from San Francisco in a couple of weeks. Having never fished for the searun variety could you share what weight rod/line you were using? Any tips on where to go, without revealing the honey holes, would be appreciated. Just a general area like around Brookings, Tillamook or Newport will set me on a path. Thanks and appreciated. Keep making RU-vid shorts.
Thanks! I would recommend a 5wt for Sea Runs. And for the water, most rivers and creeks that directly connect to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon will get some Sea Runs. The Northern part of the State is probably better. Fall is a good time. Have fun!
Jeff, Appreciate the videos and effort put in by you. I am new to Bend, since March and struggling to land anything on the Metolious. Appreciate any insight on setups to use.
Set-Up insights for me are very limited. I use a 9ft 5wt budget Orvis and toss dryflies. I like stimilators, chubbys, caddis, and mayflies. On the Metolius I often use fluorocarbon tippet instead on nylon because the trout are smarter here than other rivers. I'm a fan of dryfly powder flotant. Other guys like throwing nymphs though. They do well with stoneflies, hair ears, prince, peasant tail nymphs I believe. On the Metolius, you have to use extreme stealth and move frequently. You have to be okay with no fish the first couple of visits and then start to get a better feel for how tricky it is. More experience = more fish.
Hi Jeffrey. I have enjoyed your videos over the years, and have a window in my work this coming week (July 31 - Aug 4), and I want to head to Bend to explore the rivers. Hoping the fires will allow this. Can you recommend any rivers to target, and specifically a general area of the Metolious? Any intel would be awesome! Thanks in advance.
For the Metolius, I would branch out because it will probably be crowded with the weekend crowds. If the crowds are not too bad, the areas around the campgrounds would be convenient. Otherwise, drive downstream and use fisherman pullouts on the side of the road. Also, you can check with staff at the Fly Shop at the Camp Sherman market. Buy some supplies from them though if you could. Near Bend, you can drive to the Fall River. There's a fly shop across the street from Sunriver. There's also nearby Tumalo Creek and Whychus Creek for lite fly fishing for small rainbows. Have fun.
@@dynamicphotography_ right on thank you yeah I got my permit supposed to leave Friday morning early, but I found a new place I might go, less crowded.
Absolutely. I was deeply disappointed to see this advertised. I'm more than happy to share the water, but would prefer people found the quieter spots on their own.
An amazing post and the first of your's I've seen. Nice that you went thru all your gear and love R2D2, lol....Weird - at 17:10 is that a swimming snake in the lake? I need to finish watching this and catch other's you've posted. From fellow photog, best, from Colorado!
I appreciated the Hello! That was cool! I hope the salmon fly hatch has been great for you this year! I had a pretty good day, caught a number of trout. Wind was rough though. Lol I'll stop by your channel and drop some views/likes. I noticed you post content.
@@dynamicphotography_ yeah that wind was something else 😂 And thank you, I post very unrelated content for my business haha. If you ever wanna float the deschutes on my drift boat let me know!
Great video there buddy. Nice fish and what a beautiful river. Im from New Zealand but I do have ambitions to come to Oregon one day. Im subscribed to your channel and I gave the video a like.
@dynamicphotography would I need Columbia river basin endorsement to fish catch and release. I mainly catch and release trout, bass, panfish in ponds and lake but if some how I accidentally catch salmon or steelhead on Santiam river Etc would I get in trouble if a get one on the hook but I’ll release it. I mainly do it for the sport I don’t catch and cook
Yeap, it's required even if you stick to C&R. But the good news is that it is extremely inexpensive and goes specifically to habitat restoration and ramp improvements.
Hi!! That is amazing that it's finally open. Been a long time! I used to love trail running there. Such a gem. I'm bummed that it will be full of fire damage now. Yeah, I still run, but mostly on my treadmill right now.
