Lapwai Dreams
I’m very blessed to be able to do what I do. I love fishing and the stories that grow up around it. It’s an incredible world of struggle and accomplishment that very much resembles the plight of man. On a recent trip to Idaho, I had the opportunity to tour some of the Nez Perce […]
A November Rain? Our Salmon fishing needs it!
Tillamook Bay’s Wilson and Trask River are ready for big things if we can get some rain. The lack of rain is getting a bit old, but we’ve managed to slug it out this week anyway. Only one day of poor results and several decent days means we’re doing better than most. It pays to […]

Tillamook Bay Salmon Fishing Hold Over Tides Produce
I circle the hold over tides at Tillamook Bay in January when I start booking trips. I love fishing these tides and was excited to arrive from an incredible Columbia River Gorge season to a system full of big chrome Fall Chinook. I’ve had a number of great folks out in the last week and […]
Final Few Days in the Columbia River Gorge
White Salmon, Klickitat and Deschutes River Salmon fishing shines, even through the storm. This past week has continued what’s been a very special run on the Columbia River.
