| Down by the river... |
This past week Travis and I hit up a few rivers and small streams in the Malheur National Forest. Our "hunt" for Redband trout made us eager for every bend in the river and each cast we made. It was a good reminder to how great exploring new waters can be. We also fished for rainbows and smallmouth bass (John Day). I use the word "hunt" but it was a week long adventure that brought new challenges and adventures each day. We came across coyotes, turkeys, deer and antelope, elk and even a big bull. We forded rivers and traveled roads that didn't look like they had been traveled in some time. Sections of river reminded us of Yellowstone and prairies in Montana. In short, it was a blast and recommend to anyone to get out, seize the day and try something new or simply perfect your game.
Oregon Report:
In the hunt!
Small stream trout fishing is hot right now and success can be found all over the Northwest. On this trip we ventured our way up to rivers and streams around 5,000ft. Our arsenal included varying Sage rods in the 1 to 5wt (Single and Spey). We dry fly, nymphed and spey casted. Some of the most fun we had was found casting in a little stream with Redband and Rainbow trout.
In Summary
This was a trip I won't forget any time soon and it
