Rivers like the lower American, lower Klamath and lower Rogue all have Half-pounders now.

Sept/Oct/Nov is all good.

Let me know if you need any help planning a trip.


I can meet you on the American and give you an hour of help learning the old basic techniques for Half-pounders that we all learned 50 years ago from old timers like Joe Shirshac, Al Perryman and Hal Janssen.


Marilyn and I are RVing up to the Lower Rogue river in mid-September with friends for a week of Half-pounder chasing and I am so excited.


Put you gear in your vehicle so you can go out early or late for Half-pounders on the American.


Half-pounder expert Andy Guibord will be working most weekends at Kiene's Fly shop if you want to get help from the Master.

Yesterday he was tying up some really nice Half-pounder soft hackles for swing in the surface early and late in the day.
