I am building rods.

So, I have started building my own rods. Many of you have already fished with them, and I have even started selling a few. If you have an idea I most likely can build it. You pick the thread color, and I can help with the blank. Here are a few of the recent builds.

Steelhead is on.

Here are few pictures from the weekend. I was fishing on the Umpqua with Jim and Diane. Diane caught her first steelhead, and it just turned out to be a great day. We had a bunch of fun. Finally we are back on the Umqpua, and with the hold on the weather it looks like we will be there for awhile.

Antone

So here she is "Antone". We've spent 96 days together on the water. She's become a great customer, a dear friend, but most of all she's a great person. Over the years we've gotten to know one another very well, and she's become a great friend of my family. This was the trip we took on our 10 year anniversary last week. She caught three nice steelhead. Antone, thanks for being who you are. You are a great friend. I look forward to many more days on the water.

Winter Steelhead

Winter Steelhead is in full swing. Fishing has been good when we have been able to get out. Here is a picture of Loren and Clint on the Siuslaw with three nice hatchery fish. They also landed two wild fish that day. (Sorry for the poor picture, I think my camera was fogged up). The Umpqua has a bunch of fish, but high water conditions have made it tough. Look forward to great fishing after the rivers start to drop.
