Yep Winter Steelhead or Winter Trout.

 Depending on what weather your getting the fishing can be awesome. I have been out for both trout and Winter Steelhead and have been finding success with both. The Steelhead are around and showing themselves to those willing to work, but you wont be alone on the river. With all this nice weather the urban rivers have been busy.


You cant catch Winter Steelhead if you don't get out there. Fish are being caught from the coast to the Urban rivers of Portland. The day you chose is everything.

Odd winter weather has lead to some great trout fishing!

On the East side the trout fishing has been very productive. Nymph fishing and dry fly fishing have been options on both the trips out on the Deschutes lately. Fish responded well to a variety of flies, time of day was more important. The Crooked river has been on fire and our very own Dave is there now so more info to come. Hope everybody has had a great start to their year!!!

The Weather is turning and tying flies is looking like a good option.... for a little while anyway

 

Tons of furs and feathers to peak your creative juices.

                                   
Well the holiday season is in full swing and days spent shopping or inside doing family stuff like eating dinners with way to many calories. If you are going to be stuck in this perpetual state of way to full, then find a comfy chair and be creative in this less than motivating state of mind. The shop has tons of fly tying stuff for all your trout, Steelhead, or saltwater needs. With new stuff headed our way right now, this is the place to get your fly tying muse motivated.

If you did not have enough vises in life, we can get you at least one more.

Or thing that would inspire a new tier to the tying community might be a new vise. either way we still have you covered. Never be afraid to stop on in and take a look. Grab a cup of coffee and hang out. Remember the Christmas party is on the 14th of December so be ready for that.

I M.O.W.'s

I M.O.W. tips are the way to go this time of year. Not as cold asit is going to be but not as HOT as it was. I have been out there lately and can tell you there are still fresh Summer Steelhead showing up in Most of the rivers east of Welches and 2014 is not to far away now. Take a look at these as a great way to control fly deepth and help fly speed. I MOW's here!!

Simms Wader SALE!

G3 Waders, Industry Standard and now at a great price.

Yep it is that time of year. Too cold to deal with the small leaks and seeps that the warm summer made feel better. If your waders are leaking and you find yourself in the market for a new pair. Come on in or go online and save a few buck. the G3 wader is the industry standard and now that they are going to make some new additions it is time for you to catch the savings. G3 Waders on sale. WE sold 9 pairs today don't wait to long.

The fly to have if your out in the next couple weeks!!

Steak and Eggs takes another late season chromer!!

Well I can tell you in the last 2 weeks the fly to have on the Deschutes, JD, and Grande Rhonde. Is the Steak and Eggs. As the water gets colder the bigger flies are better, but I like to cast flies that are light. The Steak and Eggs is the fly to use easy to cast  even on a single handed rod. and with the rivers containing spawning salmon the trialling egg is a double kicker. Steak and Eggs pick a few up and you can try them for yourself.
