    NW Fly Tyer and Fly fishing Expo Albany 2026

    I know in the past (all the way back to the beginning in Eugene) there was never a problem with someone doing demonstration tying at an open table. I know some guys who started out by showing up and tying and they were officially invited back the following year. I can't think of one ol' guy...

    Still missing....

    I don't fish for carp but that doesn't stop them from ending up on the end of my line when I'm fishing for LMB. I didn't know carp would try to eat baitfish patterns I use for bass but sometimes they do.

    Floating Craft in Oregon

    A few years ago at Munsel Lake in Oregon, law enforcement was giving citations to anglers using pontoon boats or float tubes if they didn't have a whistle or air horn while on the water. Evidently a lot of folks weren't aware of the requirement to carry a noise maker when fishing on the...

    Floating Craft in Oregon

    My understanding is that any floating craft with any manner of motor must be registered with the numbers on the craft. I know I had to pay a yearly registration fee for my canoe because I used an electric motor. I figured they added in the waterway pass amount to the registration fee for...

    Floating Craft in Oregon

    Yup, but they removed the clause about 10 feet and over. Now it covers just about anything that floats.

    Floating Craft in Oregon

    I don't know if anyone has brought this up before but there is a new fee you'll pay each year if you float and fish in Oregon. It's called a Waterway Access Permit. You can find the regs that require a permit here: https://odfw.huntfishoregon.com/customer/catalog Waterway Access Permit -...

    Winter Olympics 2026

    Once I looked up the rules for Curling, I can now see the skill and strategy required to win ... it reminds me of Pool or Snooker on ice. The point seems to be screwing up the position of the other team.

    Most Popular Fly Rod Weights

    When I first started fishing (back when Sage was born) a 6 weight was considered the all around weight. Mainly because you could also use it for steelhead. Then people started switching downward to a size 5. Then a size 4. I have rods in almost all sizes and right now I primarily...

    Wandering around in the cold

    1:00 PM seems to be a very popular time for BWOs to hatch during the colder months. It was always around 1:00 that the hatch came off on the Met, the McKenzie, the Willamette plus the secret rivers I once fished. NIce fish photo.

    What fish is this?

    Many years ago, I caught a similar bright fish in an Oregon S river. I thought it must be a "jack steelhead" but after looking closely, I could finally see the hint of orange color under the jaw. At the time, one of my fishing buddies was a regional fish biologist for the river where I...

    Guns

    I opted for a Tiger tank but the blasted thing kept breaking down and was a diesel guzzler. :oops: (Actually, I grew up in NEO so am very accustomed to guns of every sort. The majority of my handguns are Baretta. I'm a sucker for a handgun that actually looks good and not an experiment...

    I ended up getting tennis elbow from bowling. I didn't use what you'd call a sleeve but the strap type device worked well.
