They Hauled Away a Sea Lion in Oregon City

Fri, 08 May 2026 08:05:04 -0700

We were fishing near Oregon City Marina when a research boat loaded a sea lion from a floating cage and transported it under the I-205 bridge.

Sea lions around Willamette Falls are one of the most controversial issues in Oregon fishing. For fishermen, it’s about salmon and steelhead survival. For wildlife advocates, it raises questions about management, removal, and what should happen next.

This is what we saw.

Traditional Winged Dry Meets Modern Parachute – Light Olive Dun

Fri, 08 May 2026 08:05:04 -0700

When Traditional Winged Dry Meets a Modern Parachute
Combination Light Olive Dun by Davie McPhail
Blending the elegance of a traditional winged dry with the fishability of a modern parachute, this Light Olive Dun is designed to sit naturally in the surface film while remaining highly visible and durable. The classic upright wing profile gives the fly a timeless mayfly silhouette, while the parachute hackle creates a low-riding footprint that trout find hard to refuse.
Using subtle olive tones, sparse dressing, and balanced proportions, this pattern imitates the delicate appearance of an emerging olive dun while still offering the practicality needed for modern river fishing. The parachute post improves visibility in difficult light, and the mixed traditional styling adds movement and realism from below the surface.
Ideal for rivers and stillwaters during olive hatches, this fly excels when trout are feeding selectively in the film. A perfect marriage of old-school craftsmanship and contemporary dry-fly design.

Materials Used
Hook: Fulling Mill Grab Gape 50 25 – Size 14
Thread: Fulling Mill Light Yellow 70 Denier
Tail: Pale Olive
Body: Pale Olive Peacock Quill
Hackle: Pale Olive Cock
Wing: Starling
Thorax: Fulling Mill Light Olive Ultra Dry Dub

Understanding Trout Species vs Subspecies

Fri, 08 May 2026 08:05:04 -0700

A gray area in the fish community that unquestionably needs some clarity. The Salmonid family is rich with diversity that continues to diverge before our eyes. Understanding the story of the trout and how these fish spread across the globe will help anglers grasp the species concept and how these fish evolved over time.

Simple Yet Effective Stonefly

Fri, 08 May 2026 08:05:04 -0700

This is a simple yet highly effective stonefly pattern built with minimal materials, with turkey tail as the primary component. It’s a great entry point for anyone looking to learn how to tie stoneflies because it forces you to focus on what actually matters, proportion and profile.

Too often, tiers overcomplicate these flies and overlook the fundamentals, the relationship between the tail, abdomen, and thorax, the length of the antennae, and especially the segmentation of the body. Those are the details that create a believable silhouette in the water.

What stands out most on a real stonefly nymph and what many patterns miss, is the contrast between the dorsal and ventral sides. The top of the exoskeleton is typically darker (brown, mahogany, olive), while the underside is noticeably lighter, often ranging from a buttery yellow to a yellow-green tone. That contrast is a trigger. Fish pick up on it, especially in broken light or slightly stained water. This variation incorporates that concept while still keeping the pattern clean and approachable.

From a biological standpoint, stoneflies (Order Plecoptera) are a multi-year aquatic insect, often spending 1–3 years as nymphs. They are not strong swimmers—they’re clingers, built to hold tight to rocks in fast current. During periods of increased flow—after rain events or rising water—nymphs become dislodged and tumble in the drift, making them an easy, high-protein target for trout and steelhead. That’s when this pattern shines.

As far as application, I prefer fishing stoneflies low and tight to the bottom, especially when flows are up, slightly off-color, and starting to drop back into shape. That window creates natural movement and vulnerability in the real insects, and your fly should reflect that.

On the hardware side, I tie these on a stronger 2X hook. You’re fishing near structure—rocks, ledges, submerged wood—and this is a larger, heavier fly. That added strength gives you the confidence to fish it where it needs to be without worrying about bending out a hook when you hang bottom or put pressure on a good fish.

This pattern is meant to teach the foundation. Once you understand these proportions and visual triggers, you can start adapting it across different species, sizes, and water types

Bass Fishing Underwater Trout Hooks Finger

Fri, 08 May 2026 08:05:04 -0700

Largemouth Bass and Trout Fishing in Washington State with some underwater scenes. This is just a few clips from recent trips while I prepare to share Steelhead, Salmon, Bass, Trout, and other Fishing videos with nature along with some of the events that happens Fishing with my friends. Boats, Shore, Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, Ponds, Ocean, Puget Sound, .. .. all over the Pacific North West.

I show a segment of a hook in finger injury just to make a point how you need to be careful even with small hooks on small fish. Imagine if it is bigger. Pliers or hook remover can help prevent some injuries.

I missed a big Bass in the shallows that hit a black spinnerbait and had the entire thing in it's mouth missing getting hooked good as the bait arm was in the way as I tried setting the hook good.

I will start uploading videos of Steelhead Fishing on Washington State Rivers on Columbia River Tributaries such as Cowlitz River others along with Coastal Rivers. Salmon Fishing in rivers, ocean, Puget Sound, and of course plenty of eventful trips Bass or Trout Fishing with Curtis, mostly steelhead and salmon with Aaron... Who knows what you might see ????

Sight Fishing for BIG Rainbow Trout \\ Henry's Fork, Idaho

Fri, 08 May 2026 08:05:03 -0700

Thank you so much for watching it means the world to me!

This adventure took place after a long day of classes. Fortunately, the fish decided to cooperate and was able to catch a bunch of trout. What made these catches so epic was the CRYSTAL clear water. Sight fishing is my favorite, but to do it in shallow clear water is addicting.

Thanks again for watching!

The Salmon River Egg Trailing Nymph

Fri, 08 May 2026 08:05:03 -0700

Back around 2016, while visiting Whitaker’s Sport Shop in Pulaski, I found myself standing in front of the bead section from SteelheadBeads.com talking fishing with Rob and just shooting the breeze. At the time, centerpin bead fishing was already becoming extremely popular on the Salmon River, and it got me thinking: how could a fly angler incorporate the effectiveness of beads into a fly pattern while still keeping the presentation and feel of fly fishing intact?

Around that same time, the Rainbow Warrior was one of the hottest flies around, and I had already been tying variations for my local waters. Naturally, that pattern became the foundation for what would eventually turn into the Salmon River Egg Trailing Nymph. By combining the flashy, buggy profile of the Rainbow Warrior style body with a pegged-style egg concept tied directly into the fly, the pattern was born.

Over the years I’ve experimented with countless variations, including stonefly-inspired versions and different body materials, but for whatever reason I always come back to this original variant. Some may call it a “dirty fly,” but as I mention in the video, I’ve seen far worse things done on the Salmon River. At the end of the day, this pattern simply gives anglers another effective option — especially when eggs are present in the system during the spawn and throughout the winter months.

One of the things that has taken years to really dial in is bead color selection based on time of year and species activity. When brown trout are actively spawning, oranges tend to shine. Once steelhead begin pushing in during late October and early November, chartreuse and blue can be absolutely phenomenal producers. During periods when Chinook and Coho are dominant, purple, blue, pink, and red combinations have consistently produced fish.

The beauty of the pattern is its versatility. You can scale it up or down depending on conditions and the egg profile you’re trying to imitate. A size 6 hook with a larger bead works great for bigger egg imitations, while smaller hooks and beads can better imitate subtle natural eggs. Personally, my confidence setup for years has been a size 8 hook paired with an 8mm bead. It’s simply fit the bill time and time again.

At this point, we’re approaching nearly a decade of fishing and refining this fly, and I tie thousands of them every year because they flat-out work.

Water conditions also play a major role in how I rig the pattern. During the extremely low flows we saw in 2021 — around 185 CFS — I avoided tungsten beads and excessive weight entirely. In those conditions, a split shot or two was often enough to get the fly into the strike zone naturally. Once flows jump into the 350-750cfs range, however, that’s when heavier setups become important. I’ll often switch to tungsten beads and add .020 lead wire, usually around 10–12 wraps, to help maintain depth and control in heavier current.

This pattern has produced fish for me on both switch rods and single-hand setups alike. Some days certain colors dominate while others don’t move a fish at all — that’s just part of the puzzle and part of fishing. The goal of this video and description is simply to provide a starting point for anyone interested in tying and fishing the Salmon River Egg Trailing Nymph.

If you have any questions about the pattern, techniques, or variations, feel free to reach out
