Attention FLY ANGLERS........ IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MANY ARE OFFENDED BY THE DEAD FISH ON THIS WEBSITE. Sorry. Be it known to all that I required the release of all wild steelhead since 1977.Fully 10 years before the State of Oregon required wild fish release. This practice lost me several clients and the disrespect of my fellow guides. Not Sorry. I can think of only one man who put more energy into the Oregon Wild fish policy adoption than myself. I can think of no one who put more energy or resources into the 17 year battle to require the state to clip hatchery fish than I.To those ignorant Fly Anglers who don't understand the damage done to our fisheries by releasing hatchery fish back to the water near spawning time I say come spend a day with a true expert who has guided anglers for 27 years.

If you think it impossibble to land 5,10,20 or 50 Adult Steelhead in a day on flies then hit the back button.All others E-Mail s.so@verizon.net
