For the 2010 trip fly fishing for Northern Pike in Canada, I’ve take a more utilitarian approach to tying. Two of my good friends are coming along, and neither tie flies so I’m getting started early. You can check out the 2008 pike trip and 2009 write ups.
Here are some of this year’s patterns [...]

Attention Steelheaders: Metalhead is here!
February 24th, 2010 · No Comments
If winter steelheading is kicking your butt and you need some gratuitous action, Metalhead is just what the doctor ordered. The sickos who brought you the Trout Bum Diaries (New Zealand & Patagonia) and Fish Bum Diaries (Mongolia) have turned their lenses to British Coumbia.

After 5 days with the in-laws in town, my friend Jeff needed to get out fishing before he freaked out. With inspiration from the Fly Fishing Film Tour videos from the night before still fresh on our brains, we headed out early for coastal winter steelhead.

McKenzie River Rainbow Trout looking for a big meal
February 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Fly fishing the McKenzie River for wild rainbow trout is my addiction. I love those big beautiful fish. And early spring time is my favorite time of year to chase them.
There’s nothing prettier than a pre-spawn beefed up McKenzie Redside. After a hungry winter with low fishing pressure, the trout are innocent and looking [...]

“Spring Like” weather yields results inland and on the coast.

Around 1pm yesterday I watched March Browns emerge and wondered if the days fishing wouldn’t of been better spent chasing trout. Oregon’s coastal waters get their March Brown two to three weeks before the hatch gets heavy on the McKenzie and Willamette. Hundreds and hundreds of casts and “nary a sniff” from the elusive “ironhead”. [...]
