Who’s this little feller?

[Travis Bille]

I was fishing the Holy Water stretch about a week ago and this letter feller floated past me. Too small and early to be a salmon fly or golden stone, but unfamiliar with the other stonefly species in the river

looks like a Skwala to me!

I don't see many down on the Deschutes, but fish seem to like them enough.

Thanks! This is probably the first skwala I've seen in person and I wasn't aware that the Rogue had a population of them. Cool!

Atlantic Salmon fly

A little late to the party, but there are skwalas on the Crooked. I never see fish "rising" on them and even the bugs themselves are kinda stealthy.

However, last week blind casting a black/olive chubby was a lot of fun. All small fish but some aggressive takes in shallow water. So the fish know about them...
