Roaming the coasts of Oregon and Washington can pay off big time. Here is a nice buck we found on a recent adventure in the rainforest.

Coming soon: the Xtreme fly patch
Coming soon: for the discerning fly angler, the all new Xtreme fly patch. Universal size fits a boatload of dries, streamers, steelhead intruders or even ginormous musky meat flies. If you can’t grow it, buy it.
*One size fits most. Flies not included.
New year #fishporn
It’s that time of the year when fishing options can be scarce around the country, but steelhead and bull trout are starting to fill our northwest rivers. So whether you’re on the west coast or elsewhere, get out there and #seekandexplore some new water.
Here are a few images from recent outings.

Some fly fishing action from the Pacific Northwest this past summer.
Straight Alaska tripping
Earlier this month we had a chance to fish for a week straight in Alaska. We had some adventures. We met some great people. Had some fun times. Caught some great fish. We saw lots of pirates.

Alaska treated us well earlier this month.

Glorious springer on the fly
As spring turns into summer it brings snow melt and springers (spring chinook). What a great time of year to be out on the river.

DRYFT Primo Wading Jacket review by Chugach Backcountry Fishing in Alaska
Review of the DRYFT Primo Wading Jacket
As the owner of Chugach Backcountry Fishing in Alaska I’ve spent many days in the rain feeling damp and soggy after a couple of hours in “100% GoreTex” products. It didn’t seem to matter which high-performance brand I wore-I always found that eventually my coat and I became saturated-the S14 Wading Coat changed that.
As with my Dryft waders, the S14 Jacket not only fits well, looks great, sports a lightweight feel, and is comfortable for rowing in but it is absolutely the best waterproof coat I’ve used. As a testimate to my belief in this product, within one week I outfitted my entire guiding staff and my family in it.
It is the small details of any product that can make it a favorite for everyday use-that’s where in-field product testing makes all the difference. Dryft did their homework on this one. I am 100% comfortable leaving cash and my I phone in waterproof sealed pockets, the soft liner on the high neck and in the pockets of the jacket are perfect for cooler temp days, and the peripheral vision I have when the hood is deployed are qualities that every jacket should offer.
If you want to stay dry on the fly, the Dryft PRIMO is for you.
