The Caddis Fly: Oregon Fly Fishing Blog

Last weekend I got out with a couple buds from the Target Global Warming campaign, and we put the hurt on some Columbia River Spring Chinook Salmon with Guide Bob Rees. The mostly hatchery-based springer run is off the hook this year, and will likely be Oregon fishermen’s best bet for salmon in 2008 with expectations for a really weak fall chinook run. While pulling a half-pound ball and a herring around the Columbia might make fly fishing purists wince, you can’t argue with these fillets.
