Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all my angling compatriots out there! What do you have on the angling horizon for 2013? A Tarpon Trip? A Wyoming Getaway? Maybe a jaunt to the South Island of New Zealand? Whatever it is, here's to planning new fishing adventures! Sorry it's been so long since my last update...life just happens quickly with a couple of young kids running around. We've had a beautiful early winter here in Oregon, and it sounds like a cold and snowy (read: typical) early Winter in Wyoming. The snowpack back in Western Wyoming is well above average right now...good news for skiers and anglers alike. Since my last post, I was able to make a number of trips out to the Klickitat River (pictured here) just East of Portland in search of Wild Chrome (Steelhead). Got a handful of grabs, but didn't land one. I'm learning a ton though...throwing a two-handed rod takes practice and patience, so I've been really enjoying learning the lay of the Steelhead land.
I've also been trying to stay involved a bit with one of our local non-profits...Oregon's Native Fish Society, check them out! I also want to give a shout out to my buddy Chuck Ledgerwood, of Butte, Montana. Check out Prize Catch, Inc. for some really cool stuff. Just came across this video below, as well...Brown Trout fever on Alberta's Bow river...great footage!
