It was asked if the fish of this logo could be more like a rainbow trout/steelhead and be centered in the Walla² FLYFISHERS.
Dale reported that he and Robert Sallee had a great
afternoon of wet wading the So. Fork of the Walla Walla last week.
Water flow
was great, cool and refreshing, fish were cooperative and jumping on
Stimulators and Copper Johns.
Dale brought up the fact that steelhead fishing season will
be coming into full swing soon. He asked Diane where she wanted to go fishing
to catch her first steelhead – a fish as long as her leg… the lower Deschutes
River in late August, and September, the lower John Day River in October and
November, the Grande Ronde River in November and thereafter freezing cold? Steelhead fishing
trips will be discussed via email and during September's club meeting.
