  • It was time to get back out to the Big D for the beginning of the famous Salmonfly and Stonefly hatch. I had some good success on previous trips fishing the nymphs as they started to make their swim towards the shore to hatch.
    This hatch needs a few things to line up for it to be "lights out" and each year there is a variable that might affect just how well you'll do, but if you time it right, there can be a few weeks of some of the best dry fly fishing you will ever experience.
    I was able to spend a few days out there right at the beginning of the hatch and it was perfect. The weather was incredibly nice and the fish were just starting to key into the big bugs on the surface. This year is looking like a good one and I can't wait to get back out and fish more of the hatch before it finishes.

    Great vid - I can appreciate all the hard work you put into this, well done! I hit it just right about two weeks ago - bugs were out in force!

    Beautiful fish! Nothing better than a strike on the dry.. I was born way up river, but learned how to swim in the Deschutes.

    Hitting up the Rogue Salmonfly hatch on Tuesday gonna try to float it if not I’ll be on the shore. Caught a couple nice cutties with the hopper dropper today on the Applegate. Gotta get you down to Southern Oregon sometime to make a video!

      Oh man, I really need to get back down there soon. My mom lives in Southern Oregon so when I go down there it’s usually just to hang out with her but I should do a combo trip real soon. Cheers and good luck on the Rogue! I miss fishing that hatch.

    We had an epic time fishing a couple weeks ago. Didn’t throw the big bugs but we saw some around. We caught fish all day on dries and had an amazing day in that special river!

      That’s awesome! It’s such a wonderful place. I feel very fortunate to get to spend as much time there as I do.

    Like your use of the drone shots. What drone and filters are you using?

    • @prolificnorthwest
      @prolificnorthwest  Місяць тому

      Thank you! This was shot in Log with the DJI Mavic Air 2S and a ND 32 filter because it was super bright out.

    Great video! I can’t find Sean & Jennifer on iTunes or even UA-cam. Love their music. How do I get some more?

      Thank you! That’s me and my wife doing the music. Glad you like it. Keep watching future videos, we’ll have more music in those and who knows maybe someday we’ll make an album. Cheers!

    Good luck on the next mission. Was out last weekend and it was work getting fish, because temps had dropped. Was still able to coax a good number of fish up to take a Yellow Sally or PMD though.

      Thanks! Yeah it's looking like it's going to warm up a bit in the next few days, so fingers crossed.

    If you started fishing the D in the early 80's it's always a bit of a let down any more. Damn Dam and it's %(*# fish tower..

    • @prolificnorthwest

      I started fishing it in the mid 80's and yeah, I totally agree!
