thanks for all the inspiration!! i am a newb and have worked hard over the last year to build my skills and knowledge through your site and sharing time with my kids fly fishing.
Wheeeerrrreeee did JC hook up with those salmon posted on 11/6? i have my driftboat hooked to the truck, a pocket full of gas money (retired @ 46 and ready to hunt trout~~harrop) and i want a dozen or two of the flies he used, as i am headed to Chetco on monday with a guide named Vanhook …….will stop in today @ lunch time as i live in Roseburg.
keep up the good work!!!
A Montana Bighorn guide I hired a few years ago drifted a “Northwest Boats” made in Roseburg,OR. I’m looking to purchase a drift boat for guiding to be used on tailwaters in East TN and Western NC. I liked the boat but I’m having trouble finding any info about the company on the net.
Any information or advice you can share would be appreciated.
Thanks,
T.Brooks
Having recently started my own blog over here in the U.K. I know the work that goes into it. Your is a true insparation to us all, and one I will follow.
The fly tying pattens I can adapt, and they keep me up to date with all that’s new in materials, and new dressings.
Who knows one day I may just get over and fish some of the wonderful rivers you talk about.
Kind wishes, and best regards.
Richard.
Could you please later this week post a new report or send one to me. Next weekend is my traditional B-Day weekend to spend on the Mac. It would be nice to know what is happening with some possible March Browns, or the standy-by possie bug affair.
We always stop in and pick up some stuff!!
I loved your “blog” but I am a hairdresser in northern Minnesota who wants to buy some of your feathers. How do I order them? Or are you really out????!!!
I am headed to the the North Umpqua and have tied some Molded head flies for the Fly fishing only area. I have read the regulation a dozen times. Is a Jig considered a legitimate fly fishing only fly. The last thing I need is a ticket. I know it is not during June on. how about now though. I am just very confused. Thx for your time Justin
Hi guys!
Thanks for all of the posts…keeps me eager to wake up and check the blog in the morning! If I can’t go fishing every day, I can at least live vicariously through you all.
I haven’t seen any Oregon saltwater fishing posts since…November?!?!?! What’s going on out there? Any lings being caught? What about a surf perch post?

hey what kind of clamp should i get on that hooks to a table or one that has a base
You guys have a tight website. I was hoping you could take a look at mine and do a review or we could exchange links or whatever. http://www.slobfish.com is the site, let me know what you think and have a good day.
I was just curious to if you have feathers still in stock. I am just wondering how I can get ahold of some. Please let me know.

Going to be at the in-laws this coming Christams in The Dalles. I always fly fish for steelhead on the Lower Deschutes but have never tried the John Day. Well I have pulled plugs several times in the Narrrow area. Is there access to the lower river above the Narrows over there. I think I have found one raod to the lower portion of the river. I here it can be good in the later winter. You can send me a email to my email account if you want.
just returned from diamond lake with five non-flyfishers, the bug life is as follows; three diff. sizes chrononmids a few ultrasmall, most size 14-16 but quite a few “bombers” started tues. some of the adults a cinnamon color. about a 12. may flies, soot black size14. dun 14-16 and a few size 12 starting to come off yest. but could not catch one. many of the fish had “grating” bellies from snails. largest fish on a “cottage grove special” from curt nyquist(!) fish are in great shape-imagine all they have to do to survive is swim with mouth open! regards norm
Hi Jay
In one of your video you are tying a Moal Leech with a two tone white/ blue cross cut rabbit strip that you say is great in clear water, can you tell me where i might purchase it. I there a special name for it. Great tying keep up the great work. Regards Richard
Hi,
I am interested in purchasing a variety of colors of your long feathers. Please email or call me at 7123040657 with information on pricing and purchasing. I live in Iowa.
Thank You In Advance!

Thank you for all the help! My husband is going to be super stoked to hear about you all
great site! good job with narrative and photos. Can’t wait to get back to the Rogue.
I started tying about one year ago and decided to use the internet as my teacher. I came across you blog shortly after I got started and it has become my go to site for learning new techniques and patterns. I appreciate the time and effort you put into the tying videos. I am a visual learner and would be struggling if not for you tutorials. Thank you very much!

Hi there,
I was looking for a cool sticker for my boat.
I found your sticker and i would LOVE to have your sticker on my boat.
Can you please send me one or two stickers?
Btw i live in the Netherlands
wanted to comment on your amazing and detailed information. ill admit I am a beginner steelheader, first season,none caught, actually. however your blog and fly tying videos have kept me dreaming…just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you guys do!
This is my first time on your Blog. I think it is fasinating and look forward to daily visits.
Today I received three parcels from The Caddis Fly Shop. Everything was just great. The products and the fast service is second to none. I look forward to doing more business in the near future.
I do have one question:
Where can I find heavy duty, nickel plated, down-eyed copper hooks in sizes from 4 to 10?
I want to tie some “Egg Sucking Leaches” and that is the hook I am searching for.
Thank you for your time. I hope that you have a positive response for me soon.
