Umpqua smallies
Got back on Saturday from an awesome trip to Winchester Bay, Oregon for a week. The wife let me get away and spend a day on the Umpqua fly fishing for smallies with a local guide "Gary's Fishing Guide Service". Let me start by saying what a beautiful state, trees everywhere and some unbelievable views. As for the fishing, I only caught around 50 or 60 smallies ranging from dinkers up to a nice 2 pounder with all of them being caught on a 3 weight. A 2 pounder on a 3 weight is awesome, especially when there is an Osprey trying to get your catch. The osprey did get a couple fish, we actually feed her, my guide would take a small smallie and break its neck and then throw it out for her to get, as you can see in one of my pics. After spending the day playing with smallies we did some quad riding on the dunes, vistied the Umpqua lighthouse, and even picked some wild berries which were deliciuous. I can not wait to go back and I will be back withing a year. Oh yeah I also got to see a bald eagle, and boy was it big, I was too much in awe to take a pic, so maybe next time I will get one.
And my favorite pic of all
So long and thanks for all the fish!!!
