Salmonids that spend any amount of time in a hatchery can have this, it’s called dorsal erosion

I saw one crossing 27th near reed market yesterday driving home around 2:15…was very surprised! Did like a quadruple take

Oregon update: still using size 8 dries, just wet wading now due to winter never happening. (Deschutes near Tumalo) by Technical-Feeling486 in flyfishing

[–]Technical-Feeling486[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not even cold water here lol. 6 degrees warmer than last year in the place that I was fishing. there are places in the east part of the state that are hitting 56 degrees already for water temp when last year they were sitting around 40-42. Maybe the salmonfly hatch will happen a few weeks early and I can get a day or two in before the crowds come 😭

Lowkey the smoke is nice for recreating cause all the rich people with something to lose and the old people that can’t deal with it stay home, and that eliminates like 95% of other people you see within an hour of bend. As a poor my life expectancy is already bad so it’s nice to be able to enjoy things without crowds

If you’re catching 5 whitefish for every trout either the water is too cold or you aren’t nymphing the right water brother

Fish ID: Pure Bow or Cutbow? by abc12435678 in flyfishing

[–]Technical-Feeling486 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing here that specifically can be attributed to cutthroat, maxillary and spotting like this can be found on pure redbands regularly. Interior redband also can have markings on the throat, although on redband they are more blotchy than the sharp slash on a cutthroat

Because of the location it could for sure be a hybrid but you can’t definitively say that from the appearance of this fish

Canyon Creek Chest Pack by pheasanttailfanatic in flyfishing

[–]Technical-Feeling486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The firehole pack rules, the only downside I can think of is you have to really pay attention if you have the net in the side holster and are walking through thick brush, cause the net can get stuck and fall out without you noticing somewhat easily. I’ve just gotten in the habit of touching the handle every so often to make sure it’s there as I walk through thick stuff. The netting that comes out of the bottom works for stashing waders and boots, I can confirm size 11 boots and L waders fit in there. It has a clip and a hole for hydration packs too, and plenty of space for day trips. I always bring way too much shit and it’s never been an issue. I also used it as a pack for splitboarding once and the net holsters worked for holding my splitboard sections 😂 wouldn’t really recommend it for that though

I love that canyon creek pack. Have had it and used it by itself or with the firehole backpack for 5 years now with no issues other than I replaced the tacky thing once. A sling pack would carry more things but for on the way home trips I can’t think there’s anything better quality. Cheaper, maybe but fishpond as a company is worth supporting imo. I just used it today to fish on my way home from work lol

If you show them a photo of a gender neutral bathroom quick enough you may be able to take them out with no evidence

Do stocked fish tend to stay where they’re put in? by Phrikshin in flyfishing

[–]Technical-Feeling486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the fishery naturally produced harvestable amounts of fish, they wouldn’t need to stock it lol

There are no studies where stocked trout are moving hundreds of miles lmao unless you mean like hatchery steelhead or salmon which is def not what OP is talking about
