After guiding indicator fishermen for 15 years I am finally done! My last trip was the day before thanksgiving and I am so happy it is over! Long days rowing as hard as I did were impacting my family life. From now on it is dry fly and spey fishing only!
My next adventure begins in January. I have registered for a Viticulture and Oenology program. Yes, I am going back to school! Now maybe I will get some fishing in for myself! |

Oregon has some great wineries so I would think you will get some excellent hands-on opportunities.
I am sitting on my hands watching the snow melt around my neck of the woods. I have gone out twice and between the icebergs floating by and the wind it has not been what I would call easy fishing. I have learned to go with pre-tied pieces of tippet with a loop on the end to make changing flies easier when my hands freeze up into claws. My fly collection has grown exponentially but I tell myself I can stop accumulating flies at any time I want....just not today. 
I went to a fly fishing show last weekend and I encountered a tier who incorporates silicone legs into his stonefly impressions. They are marvelous to behold. I think he molds his own silicone legs to keep down costs. I don't know if the fish will care about the realism, but I sure do.
