Rainforest Steelhead

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.

Where’s the Vitamin D? Summer in the PNW [video]

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.

Winter steelheading on the spey (gallery)

Winter steelheading with the spey rod is all about the experience. Making the cast. Mending the line. Slight modifications to the swing to slow the fly down, get the presentation just right. Sometimes you hook up, mostly you don’t. Aside from some bull trout, this day we went fishless.
