I'm pretty new here too and I find myself enjoying the camaraderie more and more every day.
I was out your way at the end of June, but didn't manage to get in any Steelie fishing (kicks himself in the butt), but did end up in Bend fishing the Deschutes with some success. WHaddya say you show me the Rogue the next time I'm out there?!?!
Welcome aboard, it's a decent racket!

Visted your side of the mountain today. I fished Agate Lake near White city for warm water fish. It was kinda slow, but I managed to gather enough crappie & gills for a couple of meals plus let a few Largemouth Bass go free.
If you like warmwater fly fishing Agate Lake as well as Lost Creek Res, Willow Lake and Emigrant Res can provide you some fun.
If you desire more info on Agate feel free to contact me direct.

Tim,
I would like to try crappie on a fly with you sometime. I have not tried it, and tend to fish the Rogue, or the Upper Sac or the Smith. Stuck in my ways I guess. My brother fishes the crappie tournaments, so I better know how to catch one before he shows up!

Rriver: I don't think I will be making another trip to the Rogue Valley in the near future because of some commitments and the upcoming waterfowl season. Come duck season I hide my fishing equipment until maybe January or February. Besides that, even though the fish are still hitting at Agate Lake it is an ugly place to fish as the water has been drawn down so much for irrigation that there is large mud flats. If you want to try it on your own you have about a month before it gets too cold. What I do is wear chest waders, wade out to about belt depth and work along the shore. I usually catch most of the crappie further out and the bass and bluegill almost parallel to where I am wading. I use streamer type patterns in size 8 or 10 and sink them. I usually use 2 flies, one about 5 feet from the fly line and the dropper a couple of feet below that. 6 or 8 lb leader works fine. Wooley Buggers are one of my favorites. In addition Rick Z has a list of his favorite crappie flies here on FAOL and I have tried most of them with good success.
If you want to try to hook up next spring (say around the 3d week of April) send me you E-mail address, etc as your profile is blank.
