Here’s a photo taken around 1900 of three fishermen with salmon at Link River in Klamath Falls. Photo credit: Klamath County Museum.

I wish I could see more of this bird, especially the speculum on the wing which would help determine if it's a hybrid. It could be leucistic but I'd love to hear other's thoughts.

We've received 3.40" in the past 48 hours on our part of the Oregon Coast near Lincoln City. Yay!

Continuing on the topic of fall spawner dispersal - chinook have now shown up in Klamath Basin irrigation canals: chinook strays I think this is probably occurring more rapidly than anyone had anticipated and now there will be a mad scramble to screen agricultural diversions. A similar...

For Klamath fall chinook (basin wide), the minimum stock size threshold is 30,525 natural adult spawners and the sustainable maximum yield is 40,700 natural adult spawners. The Klamath fall chinook have been classified as overfished by PFMC for quite awhile now and for the last several years...

One of my son's friends Nick Moses ended up purchasing R. B. Meiser from Bob and moving the rod building shop from Central Point to Bend. He's repaired a couple of rods for us and might be the guy to help you out. Nick's a super good human being.

I copied and pasted the latest weekly Klamath River Project’s in-season adult fish counting facility update for the Shasta River, Scott River, Bogus Creek, Jenny Creek and Shovel Creek. It's looking like the Shasta River's fall chinook return will be close to the average for over the past 10 or...

This is a wonderful thread and I am enjoying reading about everyone's career paths. For me, I've wanted to do what I ended up doing since I was in elementary school. My parents were both teachers though Mom mostly stayed at home. Dad was a seasonal backcountry ranger in Yosemite National Park...

I try to get together with my two buddies Don and Dan once or twice a year for some sort of fly fishing centric adventure. We worked together for 30 plus years and have all been retired for close to 10 years now. We call our little group "the geezers" and this past week, we were at my place on...

Another Devils Lake cloudscape from a few weeks ago - this one is the pretty underside of an anvil from a offshore thunderstorm.

I think the forecast models and forecasters underestimated precip totals from the front that is currently moving through Oregon. We have received 2.20" since about 10:30 pm last night at our place outside of Lincoln City. It's tapering off now but it's a good dosing for the very dry Oregon Coast.

I always keep a Reliefband (https://reliefband.com/) watch on my boat for passengers to use. I first found out about it from a work colleague maybe 20 years ago. We did aerial waterfowl surveys together from a small fixed wing airplane and she often would get motion sickness. The watch (she...

Yesterday's spinner tossing crowd at the mouth of Siletz Bay - Oregon Coast.

Last night's thunderstorm updraft over the eastern foothills of Oregon's Coast Range with Devils Lake in the foreground.

Nice - I'm always looking for new flies to sling at finicky tidewater staging coho. What sized hooks do you like to use?

A buddy of mine caught one off Brookings/Gold Beach back in October, 2004... there were a handful caught that day by the fleet.

The Oregon estuary fall chinook trolling season is fully under way. It's about time to battle the bankies and sling some flies at em...

A geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for tonight and tomorrow night. CME on its way

We did some dirt bag trolling today on the Siletz River estuary - just another gorgeous day on the Oregon Coast.
