February 2012 on the Lower Russian River....

Ryan Williams hired my friend Carlo Bongio to guide him for steelhead on the Russian last month.

Here is a photo of a nice fish Ryan caught swinging flies......

Hey Bill, good to see you got a hold of that picture! I stopped by the shop to show you afterwards but you had already left to Florida. But great recommendation on Carlo, he is really an awesome guide. I learned a lot from that trip. I was literally taking notes from all the information he was giving me. So I left with all the information I was seeking about the Russian, along with a nice fish... Money well spent. But Carlo is one heck of a guide, I'd highly recommend Mr. Bongio to anyone interested in coastal fishing, he really got it figured out.

Great Ryan

That is a beautiful steelhead....

I think this might be Carlo's new web addrsss that he is working on right now.

It should be up and running soon.
