Eddies are one of my favorite places to fish. I’ve caught some nice fish in eddies. It would be difficult to determine what my favorite water to fish is, whether it’s eddies, runs, boulders, or tail outs. I think the answer is WATER. But I always fish an eddy. The image above is a small…
Here are this week’s images from the water. While waiting for fish to rise, I have plenty of time to look around and find subjects to capture. I hope you enjoy this week’s portfolio. A Golden Stone adult and empty nymphal shuck on the Metolius River. Tying on a new fly. Honestly, we haven’t seen…
It won’t be long and we’ll be on our 2023 fly fishing road trip. I’ve been looking forward to it. I’m checking fly boxes for our Montana fly fishing trip and pulled out the provider boxes to make sure we had enough flies for the expected hatches on the waters we fish. Sure, we have…
Here are this week’s images from the water. While waiting for fish to rise, I have plenty of time to look around and find subjects to capture. I hope you enjoy the images below. I love to capture Mayfly spinners with my camera. If you are observant, you might find them on the streamside vegetation….
It’s that time of year when I spend more time fly fishing and fewer flies from the vise are tied. The official start of summer is tomorrow. I’ve been on the water more days than not, looking for hatching insects and rising fish. In fact, I finished my last customer order last night, several Beetle…

Our next fly fishing road trip is only a few weeks away and I need to begin getting our road trip flies ready for a several weeks of fishing. I’ve had a few RiverKeeper Flies regulars ask when we plan to leave on our next fly fishing road trip and whether we will return and…
A few more images from the water taken in the last two weeks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them. These images were taken on the hiker trail between Canyon Creek and the Hatchery. A Green Drake I found floating downstream in the current. Note the yellow pollen specks in…
Last week, I was fly fishing the Lower Deschutes River with my friend Eric. This has been mostly an annual event for the several years and it’s something I look forward to. The image above is Eric’s reaction when the fish decided he’d had enough pictures! We launch at the Warm Springs boat ramp and…
If you were paying attention, you might have noticed I didn’t create a Throw Back Thursday Fly post a couple of weeks ago. It’s the first time that’s happened in almost 9 years. I decided I didn’t have the time to complete one because I was busy with other things and decided not to stress…
