I woke up an hour late. There was a guy at the spot I wanted to fish. Then there was a guy at the next spot. I went to my third option and within 10 min caught this nice rainbow. It's good to have plans, but things don't need to go according to plan for great things to happen.

Finally had the chance to explore some water that had been on my radar for a long time. Beautiful stretch of the river. Tightline nymphed with my usual 5 wt trout rod. Decided to try a semiautomatic reel after watching some of Devin Olsen's videos. Fished through a lot of water that day, but only caught fish out of the stretch shown here.

All good things come to an end. Had a great time during this year's salmonfly hatch. Ended with this 15" rainbow trout. Golden stoneflies were starting to appear alongside the decreasing number of salmonflies.

Barely got this fish out of the submerged tree. Was happy to get some underwater shots of both a salmonfly and a nice trout (cutbow I think). The view of the salmonfly will provide inspiration when tying new flies for this hatch. The fish just sat next to me after the release and I stuck my GoPro in the water.

The best thing about the salmonfly hatch is the good chance of catching some big trout on big dry flies that are easy to see. Here's a big cutthroat, rising not that far from me, ~15-20' away, for my fly. The fly line got wrapped around my reel when the fish ran downstream right after the hookset. Luckily it stopped just in time and just long enough for me to untangle the mess. Oregon, Spring 2...

Usually a lot of little fish will attempt to eat the big dry flies during this hatch, but many of them can only bite a portion of the fly and missing the fish on the hookset on one of these is not that unusual in my experience, and sometimes desired. This one stood out with the consecutive rises. I presume from the same fish? But there's no way to know for sure. Oregon, Spring 2024 Rod: Orvis H...

This fish hit at the very end of the drift. I remember wanting to pick up and cast back upstream but something convinced me to extend the drift just a bit more further downstream. I had just lost sight of the fly for a sec and the fish grabbed it with a splash. 20" steelhead. 0:00 Intro 0:12 Cast & Hookset 0:32 Slow Motion Eat 1:09 Landing 1:28 Release Oregon, Spring 2024 Rod: Orvis Helios 3 Bl...

This was definitely one of the highlights of the season for me. New spot. Had seen a few small rising trout more toward the middle of the river in this area while I was further downstream and decided to give it a go. While trying to get the small trout I had seen to rise, just happened to chance upon this big rising trout right under my feet, even clearly seeing it eat an actual salmonfly. Work...

Missed a couple of really big fish earlier in the afternoon. I moved on and the day turned around with a couple of nice cutthroat trout back to back (18" and 13") plus a little rainbow. 0:00 Intro 0:09 First big fish of the season 1:12 Five minutes later Oregon, Spring 2024 Rod: Orvis Helios 3 Blackout 9'5" 5 wt Reel: Orvis Mirage LT II Line: Orvis Pro Power Taper Smooth

I had been fishing on a partially submerged log for a while when I noticed a ton of little fish right next to me. I stuck my GoPro in the water and got this footage. Cool to see them feed on the stuff drifting by. Clearest shot of fish eating at 0:58. Oregon, Spring 2024 Camera: GoPro Hero 7 Black

The salmonflies are back! Spent the day hiking and fishing along the river. Revisited familiar spots and explored new areas. This just doesn't get old.

This was a BIG fish, ~42" long. Was fortunate to have the chance to spend another day fishing with my friend in a river in northern Taiwan. Quite a drastic change from my previous trip about a week prior. From mountain stream with big rocks and clear water to urban river with sandy bottom and murky water. There were a lot of big fish here, though, and I managed to get this one out of there. 0:0...

This was my first time fly fishing in Taiwan. My new fishing friend took me to a beautiful river in northeastern Taiwan that has quite a lot of Taiwan mahseer. We had a great time spending a day fishing together. 0:00 Intro 0:12 1st fish 0:38 2nd fish 1:06 Casting 1:17 3rd fish Check out my friend's video from this trip here: ruclips.net/video/YmSDNhCbt1g/видео.htmlsi=sQeEOIBLMw61Nm7o Taiwan, S...

Met a new fishing friend who was very kind to take me fishing on his boat. Goal was winter steelhead but no steelhead that day. Water was high and fishing was slow - managed to get a nice "rockfish" and a last minute little rainbow trout. Oregon, Early Spring 2024
