We started a new Blog page. We will be updating our blog regularly. Take a look.
Check out our new video "Redfish on the fly in South Carolina" on our video page.
If your looking for steelhead, the John Day has still been kicking out a few fish when the water levels have been good.
A few good reports have come in for steelhead on the Hood River, as well as the Sandy River near Portland.
The Crooked River has been fishing very well with BWO's and small Beatis nymphs.
The Fall River has also been very good fishing with BWO's and Midge Patterns. Remember to fish above the Fall River Falls.
