Took my first trout fishing trip since moving to Oregon :smile: on Friday and had a great time. I can't tell where I went since I promised the persons that PM'd me I wouldn't give away their spot, but it was a northern stream along the coast! :wink:. Since I promised a report for the info, here goes.
I got to the water about 3:30 pm and started fishing. For almost the entire time I used a olive reverse spider. My second cast caught an 8 in cutthroat :dance: My next cast caught one slightly smaller than the first. After messing with the small ones for a little bit, I moved upstream since I was afraid I would hurt the little ones (I caught 1 that was about the same size as my fly). At the head of the pool I caught a 15 in trout that I think was a searun (it was quite bright, mostly silver) and got another 1 up to me that was a little bigger. I hooked about 3 more nice ones in the same spot but lost them.
I should metion that I got there too late since when I got there the caddis were swarming on the water when I got there, but mostly died down around 5. The few caddis that were still left were getting swarmed by little cutthroat, so I thought about switching to a dry, but I didn't want to catch to many small ones. It was fun to watch though, especially one really large caddis (I think it was a caddis, there were only a few of these, over an inch long and kinda of pale yellow, but they flew like caddis) which hit the water right next to me and got gobbled by a little 8 in cutthroat. Some of those little cuts were literaly jumping clear out of the water trying to get those caddis flies! It was quite entertaining. About 5 pm I left the first pool, but the fishing wasn't too good after that. Lots of small cutts, but no large searuns.
Anyway, I had a great time. Thanks for the advice on where to go.
