OK where are they ? I mean such as the flys you are tying since I know you don't have any of fishing with all of the PNW rivers blown for the last month.
Liked the snow and mountain pictures you sent in the email today, looks quite frigid out there in OR, here we have no snow, for January that is very unusual.

Sandy is on the 'tugging' end, Bella on the other. First time he did this I thought now that's cute. Now when I want to get 'her' out of the water: "Sandy, go get Bella!" Of he goes, grabs her by the trailing leash .. and in she comes.
Actually BG, even a bit beyond that. The fly's that worked like sixty were done in 'glow in the dark' materials. Gin clear water but use the same pattern with/without the 'day-glo' materials had a hook up factor of well over two to one.
Go figure?

bf;
we have had some good rains this month, the mo was above normal levels 2 weeks ago *had to stay 5' from shore usually you can wade all over), big man is also pushing some really good cfs
we had some good snow and then bam it melted due to the water falling from the sky.
its not all doom and gloom yet.
follow the link;
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mi/nwis/uv?dd_...ite_no=04121970
usuallt the river is wadeable at 1500cfs and 5.5'

God I love to be fishing the rogue the day it comes down to fishable level and clarity, lets us know when that is.
Mo is a tough river to wade when its flows are up.
Looks like this may be the warmest January on the record with next weeks prediction again into the 40 degree temp ranges and no snow of any quantity.
We need rain and snow for the big lakes.

This is the main one many of us 'watch;' gauge location is about 15 miles down stream from Warm Springs dam. That's that HUGE PLUME of water pictured above. Note the small triangles at the bottom of the flow chart. That's premier fishing conditions in the winter.

Actually underwater at this point; which the only time you can 'safely' run "Blossom Bar." By the photo you can guess the one/only place you edge through at normal water flow. This photo must be late in the summer as the 'line on the rocks' shows normal flow.
Dang, forgot to ask: where did you come up with this photo, let alone even know (assuming you do) where this is in the middle of the lower Rogue?

Many,many years ago I used to watch that hummer flow by; and even then it was something to see when in 'full stomp.'

Will do BG. The only thing I still don't have a good grab on is allowing access to the albums without leaving the site 'wide open.' I'm missing the obvious some place with this Adobe/Kodak web site.
Flywise the 'big three' for me are the Otis Bug (primarily for the weight to get the second fly down), bead head prince nymphs and 'Stones' of different sizes/weights. The PN or stone is usually the trailer fly behind the 'Bug.'
You will hook a lot of fish on an Otis Bug, but the more weighted it is, the less likely you will hook a fish on 'it.' Suspect the weight of the 'sinker fly' pretty much knocks out any real 'action' it may have in the water; the lightly/non-weighted trailer wabbles around quite a bit over the drift.
