Oregon salmon anglers ready for the bite.
Had a very nice day last week tying winter steelhead flies at the Caddis Fly Shop and I’ll be back again on November 28th to share enthusiasm, tying tips, show a few fishing videos and answer anyone’s questions regarding fly fishing in the ocean, estuary, and upriver.

From albacore, lingcod, rockfish, chums, chinook, and both summer and winter steelhead – the field is open and I look forward to showing flies, talking tackle, and sharing fishing stories (complete with unedited videos).

10 AM until about 3 or 4 PM – Ill be on hand tying, working on stocking my own boxes for the transition season, and I hope you can join me and the fine Caddis Angling Shop staff for some conversation and enlightenment.
I’ll have a few books on hand too!

Hey Jay,
I live on the Nestucca river just east of Beaver, OR. I have been spending the last couple of months hounding the guys at the Caddis over tying materials and gear, prepping to attempt my luck to hook into a steelhead this winter. Ive been learning to tie inturders and nymphs to better my chances, but more importantly beat out my neighbor (who consistently catches steelhead with spinners) in a friendly steelhead competition starting today until Thanksgiving 2016. I need some advice. Some system setups and fly tips to help me once and for all show the power the fly fisherman can wield over the common spinner fisher persons.
Good show! Aren’t those in your new intruder book!
Just possible, time will tell. JN
