Good to hear, how is the flow and clarity Jeff?

Thanks, Ingrid for your comment and interest in the environment but don't get too political here because we have a diverse group.

Thanks Jeff,

It is nice to have you living up on the middle Rogue River now.



Chuck Campana used to go to the Holy Water on the Rogue River every spring for the famous Salmon fly hatch.

This could save the Stripers and the salmon fisheries plus lots of...

Only a small percentage of classic fly fishers "match the hatch" in the smooth surfaces of lakes and spring creeks with long, light leader,

Joe Shirshac took many anglers to this area to hit the Sockeye salmon run in July.

You can make this full frame.

Jay, October is a good month up that way.

Dick Galland is a huge part of the history up there.

Excellent report. Thanks Bob.

Looks like it is time for some of you to get your gear in your vehicle for PM action, soon.

This is a fantastic YouTube channel about kayak fishing with spinning and baitcasting tackle and lures.

I think June is the peak month for upriver fishing.

Artic Fox is high-quality stuff.

Some of my friends bought their trailers.

Here is a news flash for our little old Fly Fishing Forum:

Kate Howe just joined the Forum yesterday.

RSK,

Amazing, you lived the entire history of two-handed/Spey casting/fishing on the West Coast.



I am not a good Spey caster/fisher but I know the history well because my job was to have...

14' two-handed/Spey rods are for wider rivers with longer Scandi floating heads or longer belly full floating lies.

#6/7 line size would be for medium-sized/weight flies fished on or near the...

Jcolin,

This is powerful information, so thanks, even if only two young commandos do the trip into the Whitney backcountry.


Are you one of the Colin boys who have been fishing the Klamath and...

In the 1970s my fishing buddy, Cecil "Junior" Wilder, and I went to the mouth of the Feather River to fly fish for Shad.

He brought a Coleman stove, some utensils, etc. for cooking up the Shad...
