    On the River and at the Fly Tying Bench

    September 2, 2025October 25, 2025

    What should we do on a warm summer evening? How about head to the river with popcorn and a beer to see if any fish are rising? We’d taken a few days off because of the forest fire around Sisters. Lots of homes were evacuated and the fire was stopped about 2 miles from town….

    Finished our Road Trip and Tying Flies

    August 14, 2025August 14, 2025

    We’ve been home a couple of weeks from our recent fly fishing road trip. As you can tell from the image below, it didn’t end as we hoped. Turns out a fuel injector in our van needed to be replaced in Kemmerer, WY. It’s a longer story that I won’t bore you with, but we…

    Getting Ready for Salmonflies and Golden Stones

    May 20, 2025July 18, 2025

    I happened to see my first Salmonfly of the season recently on my home waters. This isn’t a huge hatch like other waters in Central Oregon or the rivers you fish. But the Metolius is known for a Golden Stone hatch in the upper river starting around the 4th of July. We have a trip…

    After spending a week at Casa de Campo, our next stop was fly fishing at Trocoman house with SET Fly Fishing.
