I went to the #northumpquariver yesterday. This river at this time of the year is hands down my favorite ever! I caught a few fish before breaking my rod falling down a cliff. I’m ok so don’t worry everyone. It hurt what’s left of my pride more then anything else.

Several months ago I was down on the border of old Mexico. We'd fished our way to the top... Seeing Canada from the Northern section of Glacier. We'd dropped into Oregon to see the Ocean... And attempt a bull one last time. Pony had left his lucky hat on my truck the day we left... So I wore it. There's a portion of the Metolius that turns narrow, but deepens going through rocky crags. I was told if I found this spot... I'd see the Bulls and the rest was up to me. I found the ledges. I found the Bulls. I started color and sizes changes. Having dug to the bottom of the truck I found my pike box. I threw it all, but the fish wouldn't budge. I remembered Jeff saying before the color went hot on white... They were keen on purple. I found a big purple rabbit strip leech in my box... The orange dumbbell eyes showing mostly the muted gray lead from years of abuse. I cast up as far as I could letting the sink tip do its job. I threw a slight mend to direct the leach to the feeding lane. As the leech fell into place I waited... Waited until the fly was 2 foot, 1.5 foot, 1... Jig, jig, jig... I fluttered that leech right in old boys face... When the white of his mouth opened just wide enough to see. S E T!!! Off to the races he goes... Downstream. My line is running out... I can't find a place to get down to the water where I'm standing. I found a ledge half way down to the water that looked like it was half my boots length. I slid ass end down on the rock to it. As I checked the tension on my line... The tuft of grass I had supposed was the ledge have and I went swimming in the Metolius. Deep and cold... I came back to the top. The rod still had weight. I dog paddled to where I caught riverbed with a foot and was able to stand up straight... Water pouring from my clothes. Still the line held. I wrenched until the fish was within an arm length. SNAP! The 7wt succumbed to the torque. Not happening says I... I grabbed the fly line and pulled him in by hand. Done! #Flyfishing #catchandrelease #tailfinn #flyfishoregon #metoliusriver #winstonrods #galvanflyreels #venturingangler #seewhatsoutthere #bulltrout #fishingstory #livetofish

What a Fly Shop did you grow up in as a kid? We haunted @caddisflyshop in Eugene, Oregon. Also a great pic of the Dolly Llama visiting Oregon. #flyfishing #flyshop #caddisfly #flyfishoregon #dollyllama #thedollyllama #mckenzieriver

A nice wild oregon #cutthroat - hungry little guy. Check out the size of the fly in his mouth. Big enough to freak out the camera. #wildfish#flyfish#flyfishoregon#mckenzieriver #caddisflyshop#driftboat#native#oregon #cutthroattrout#troutporn (at Mckenzie River)

The fall rains in Oregon have me really looking forward to some winter steelhead fishing! #flyfishoregon #flyfishing #flytying #wintersteelhead #fall #pnw #pnwonderland #swingthefly (at Oregon)

I have wanted to fish the Crooked River in Smith Rock state park since I first saw it ten years ago. Today I got to make that happen. Let's see if it hide some beautiful fish! #smithrock #pnwonderland #oregonexplored #pnw #flyfishing #flytying #flyfishoregon #getoutdoors #oregon (at Smith Rock State Park)

I had a great day #flyfishing the #mckenzieriver today. It was rainy but well worth the effort. #pacificnorthwest #pnw #flyfishoregon #oregonflyfishing #oregon #rainbowtrout #tightlines #catchandrelease #keepemwet #thetugisthedrug #troutporn #trout

I played around tonight with a double salmon hook for the first time tonight. I kinda like them! #flytying #flyfishing #flyfishoregon #oregon #daiichi #salmon #pnw #pacificnorthwest

Tied up some flies last night. I haven't gotten to tie much because I've been working on building my first fly rod. It felt really good to sit and work on the vise for a bit. #flytying #flyfishoregon #flyfishing #oregon

I managed to get my first #rainbowtrout of the new year before January was over! Here's to a great year! #pnw #mckenzieriver #flyfishing #oregonexplored #optoutside #keepemwet #catchandrelease #homewatersflyshop #beautiful #flyfishoregon #princenymph
