Packed up the car and the families and took off for Sunriver for Spring Break. It was a great week, with a Tri-fecta of sport: Downhill and X-Country skiing, and of course fishing. Mark and I wanted to avoid the bright sun so instead we got the blizzard. Since we knew our odds were pretty slim anywhere we opted for the shortest drive, which landed us at the Fall River. We went to a spot just above the falls, which is just a little ways upstream from where it dumps into the Deschutes.
Imagine tying on #20 nymphs with 7X tippet when the snow is pounding hard and the wind is howling. Well after about an hour of that we retired to the car for sandwiches and anti-freeze.
Well as usual with Oregon weather the snow stopped and the sun made an appearance so back out we went. Now things were looking more like the Fall I had seen in the summer, and it turned out to be just as productive - that is to say not a nibble. However I could swear I heard a splashy rise, so maybe there really are fish in there......
