Fishing around Sisters and Bend

We are staying in Sisters Oregon for 4 months.
I would sure like any input on fishing the local waters.
Thanks

JR who lives in Bend and is a fairly regular contributer here may be along
shortly. In the meantime I recommend that you visit http://www.westfly.com
.. Particularly check out the Oregon forum. and the archives for the
Metolios, Fall River, Lake Billie Chinook, East Lake, Davis Lake, Upper
Deschutes, Crane Prarie Reservoir, and about a hundred other good fishing
sites within about an hour's drive of Sisters.

Thanks for the info.

If you can afford three months in Sisters you can afford this book.

It's worth the money.

Gee thanks, Bob. ".... about a hundred other good fishingsites within
about an hour's drive of Sisters". I'll tell the Chamber of Commerce
and the Homebuilders' Association to send you your checks....

Other Bob: it is kinda true, though. Good number of options. Metolius
is closest to Sisters but gets very crowded in the summer. Even with
the crowds, however, the Green Drake hatch in May/June is well worth
the effort. This is by far my favorite tie for that hatch

If you like stillwater fishing, the lakes Bob mentions plus several
more along the Cascades highway south of Bend will last most of 4
months. For both rivers and lakes, bring a 4 or 5 wt for trout and a 7
or 8 weight if you're interested in chasing steelhead on the Deschutes.
Go to the Fly Fisher's Place in Sisters and talk to the owner, Jeff
Perrin.

Do follow the Oregon board on Westfly. Lots of good info there.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have the previous edition.
I wonder if it has changed that much.

Thanks for the photo of the Green Drake pattern. I have never fished
where they had this hatch, so it's a new one for me. I like to tie my
own flies, so the photo helps.
We love to fish lakes. My wife doesn't care much for river fishing but
loves to go out in a float tube. Fishing the local lakes is one of the
things we plan on doing a lot.
I have been watching Westfly to get some ideas of which ones to try
first.

At $ 25 I would check it out in the bookstore in Bend before I bought
it. Another good choice would be Oregon Blue-Ribbon Fly Fishing Guide.
