    Default What are you doing in August this summer?

    Many will go to the Pacific coast to get cooled off. There is some fishing over there as well as clamming and crabbing.

    Another choice has always been to go the higher elevations (over 5,000') to find some fresh cool air. Back packing or horse pack trip would be wonderful for most.

    Head to Idaho and Montana for some hopper fishing. July, August and September are usually good months.

    Some will go to Alaska for great fishing and cool weather.



    Some friends were complaining that their fall steelhead trips are not looking good with the current drought situation. I told them to do something different....?


    September in Alaska is big Rainbow trout time and the Silver salmon runs.


    We are going to try to RV up on the Oregon coast "if the creek doesn't rise".

    Bill---Cooler air above 5000', yes, not necessarily the normally fishable waters. The locals have been onto voluntary "Hoot Owl" closure; not fishing the Truckee river on both sides of the CA/NV border... water is way toooo low and warm. I agree horse-packing and trekking into the high Sierra is a great option.

    Late August taking a couple of forum members (Lee and Susan) on a trip down the Koktuli River in AK. Also coming along are a couple of guys from Lodi who know everything about camping but nothing about fly fishing - it's going to be great to watch them with grayling, dollies, rainbows and silvers. Hopefully they let me catch a few, too.

    Lot's of places in Montana/Wyoming are a little on the warm side this year. Bobby G, give me a shout if you ever make it to Western WY, I'm spending a lot of free time exploring there.

    Hi Aaron -

    Once settled in Fort Collins, I will contact you so that we can spend some time together...this will be one of my priorities.

    Thank you for the offer.
