However,the Oregon State Police (who enforce game and fish laws under contract from the Dept of Fish & Wildlife) are so understaffed that enforcement of any of the fish & game laws is spotty at best.

Now Id expect in your case you will need 2 cards. ;+)) Dave |

Dave I don't have a photo of my favorite pattern, but it's tied like this (very simple): long-shank hook of your size preference Spin deer or elk hair over entire shank. Trim hair on top and bottom to make a horizontal pattern -- nothing on the top, nothing on the bottom. You don't need much hair left. The idea is to get the tapered mouse profile as seen (by the trout) from below. Tie on a strip of skin with dark hair on the end for the tail. The hair should be smooth and slinky in the water. Over the deer or elk hair, tie on a back and head of jet black closed-cell foam, about 3/8" thick, tapered to match a mouse body, more-or-less. The first tie-down is just above the tail, the second is just behind the hook eye. Leave about 5/8" or so above the last tie-down for a "head." -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

No leather ears? No black beady eyes? No Orvis box? Im joking. This sounds like I could actually tie it. Thank you. I heard that the steelhead were up the clearwater early this year. True that?

Dave Coming back last weekend through Orofino, there were many drift boats and bank fly fisherman. I saw two boats with hookups. Unfortunately I couldn't stop and fish. Heading back end of the month. There were several steelhead (or what appeared to be steelhead) coming to the surface. It's suppose to be a record year. JT |
