Yeah im sure theres worse. doesn't mean its not bad though. Maybe I've just been thinking about that 2 yr old one the siletz that wondered to the river and drown to much and then seeing this just kinda got to me. It just seems like a completely avoidable accident waiting to happen.

Have to call out the latest video from 541fisherman on youtube. To bad he always has his comments turned off. Probably because of all the hate he gets, and rightfully so. His little latest video he has some chick in the drift boat with him. She hooks a fish and is fighting it by, not setting the...

Nice! Yeah this is definitely not your typical matte silver finish. Its pretty bad.

You can see on the clean blade a little bit of the finish is kinda scratched and some silver is showing through. Every blade is like that whatever the finish is, it's thin..so even if I hit it with steel whool I think that would remove most of the white finish on it... which I'll probably end...

First let me say i really like everything else I have ever ordered from FSL. But... several months ago I put in a semi large order of some spinner bodies and different blades. One of the packs of blades I ordered was the white matte silver. What i got was not what I expected. I've ordered matte...

Yeah, in low clear water go less yarn. I use a size 4 hook most of the time but even go down to a 6 sometimes. I take my yarn and peel it into halves or even thirds. Here's an example of a typical low flow, clear water, hot afternoon, set up i use. I also usually dip it in some anise scent...

Went up late today, little after noon. Maybe there 5-10 mins and had a fish on. Another nice summer fish. Saw a few roll around too but nothing after that fish for the next few hours. Missed a couple solid bobber downs..maybe they were trout playing with my jig. Who knows. At least there's a few...

No i didn't. I was going to but then gave it away. That definitely would have been the for sure way to tell.

Well I stopped winter fishing early this year. Probably mid to end January. Just didn't feel like going out in the cold and rain with the massive crowds. Decided today to finally go up to my summer steelhead stomping ground. There's been a few fish over willamette falls. Not as good as last...

One more today in the rain. Another nice winter fish. That's 3 this year that are bigger than any other winter fish I've caught in 10years or so. Usually I get the typical 26"-29" 5-8lb fish. This one was almost 32". Big fat hen with really big egg skeins. Not as dramatic as a fight as the one...

Great morning! Found a spot i like that was unoccupied. That's task 1 in itself now days. First cast and my bobber went down but it popped up right before I was about to swing. I knew it was a fish though and on my 3rd cast it took it again. Nice little bright native hen and I let her go. Only...

That sucks about the boat. Is there a story about it or a lesson to be learned? Asking for a hopefully soon to be boat owner (at least by next year)....

Yeah but if I was catching fish like the one in your photo above I wouldn't care if they were all natives! That's a monster steelhead. The fish i got is definitely a byproduct of the broodstock program on my home river. Ive been hearing of a few more decent fish the last several years but most...

Best steelhead I've caught in a long time and one of my biggest winters.
